Once more with feeling, Line: Have you thought of publishing your Haikus? Perhaps with little illustrations? I think there's a market out there for what you've got going...btw You suggested some time back that I compile my light or light-ish stuff, and I'm doing exactly that. My sons are illustrating it, and I think it'll be ready late this summer...So, go for it!!!! Best always, gw

I'm so happy to hear about your upcoming compilation, Gershon. That is awesome. Keep us all in the loop.

I just thought about late mother. Your poem touches me deeply. It could have been written for her. Now I will look for my own treasure. Kind wishes, Kai

It is blatantly obvious that much treasure lies not so far beneath, Kai. Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Kai.

Fear and poor self image have robbed us of exceptional people. Nicely done my friend.

SO SO TRUE !! There's a great draft for a very witty monoku, Carlos.

Have seen this many times Line, people with incredible talents but they prefer for reasons unkown to leave them buried. Tom
