Hi LJ - thank you for your compliment and your encouragement! Have been experimenting with haiku, sedryu and sedoka. Enjoying the challenge of putting full thoughts and images into limited words with a punchline ending! So fun. Hope you are doing well! Many blessings to you! Glad to see so many of your poems on the winners lists!

Don't you love how bossy that old rooster can be? I love your inclusion of the windmill in this little gem. Congrats on your placement, Sam.

I do love that bossy rooster - his morning song - sometimes! The picture really didn't seem complete without the windmill and its soothing rhythm! Thank you dear friend! I have grown to enjoy writing haiki, senryu and sedoka - great exercises for the verbose and loquacious like me.

Thank you my friend. The "gif" was such an inspiration. Have seen mornings like this in the country - beyond words but we, as poets, still try. Isn't it wonderful?!
