Blessings and congratulations on your win, Bartholomew - I often find my muse among the stars, and have a number of poems concerning the cosmos and my yearning to see the wonders it holds - all those miracles that no intelligent eyes will ever behond - seems such a tragedy to me, but what we CAN see is so amazing! This is a wonderful Haiku, and a well-deserved win! Blessings, Friend! :-)

Gregory, thank you so much for your consistently positive, encouraging messages! It's a pleasure to hear from you, my friend. I concur fully on what you state about the part of the universe that we can see/sense is AMAZING!! I will read some of your poems on the topic of the universe/cosmos and truly look forward to it. Blessings and all other good things right back to you! :) Bartholomew
