I did not beat Kim to saying exactly what Kim said which is what I wanted to say. So ditto to Kim's comment.

This whole piece is great. From the picture and the title, the words and the lingering feeling of how you felt so many years ago. What power you wield with your words is amazing. So well done!

Even the artwork leaves one cold...a short haibun that says it all, and the haiku is excellant. Warm regards, Aqua M.
