This is a deep haiku, Bartholomew. Looking at the heavens, indeed, can give us a sense of smallness and at the same time a sense of the awesomeness of God. Congrats on your win!

Bartholomew Williams
Date: 11/29/2017 7:56:00 PM

Thanks so much, Carol, for your kind, thoughtful, and sincere words. I concur with exactly the contrast you mention, and it is amazing!! Congratulations on your win with "Music of Poetry"! All my best. :) Bartholomew

Gregory R Barden

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! :-)

Bartholomew Williams
Date: 11/11/2017 9:44:00 PM

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

Kathleen, thank you so much for your kind, gracious comments. I am truly grateful. I read your recent poem, "Las Vegas," and I genuinely appreciate your honesty and candor in dealing with a far-too-tragic topic. My very best wishes to you! :) Bartholomew
