I think that age and experience have something to do with it:) Thank you for a welcome visit. // paul

Daver Austin Date: 5/27/2015 11:04:00 AM Speaks of youth. Or it speaks of old age, mood, and many another human woe. For me this makes for a great haiku. Love, dave Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 5/27/2015 4:51:00 PM In my case it speaks more of old age!! The years are fast going by, and so are many dreams that that never became reality. All the best. // paul
