vanity flattered!

Beauty and wisdom are not the result of putting on a show; their roots are found in humble soil, Besma! Regards // paul

Dearest Besma, you’ve amazed your ardent reader yet again.. Your inspired and admirable haiku shines a divine light on the useless arrogance of vanity. The keen edge of your poetry cuts through the darkness exposing feeble minded vanity for what it is; a phony state of mind swallowing its own humanity whole. Your poetic brilliance shines with thoughtful beauty and abundant meaning in your marvelous poem. Warmest wishes and love to you always my lovely friend. ~Susan
