Thank you, Dear Paul. I appreciate your comment so much. I am not a very good Haiku writer, and no experience in Shape poems. Inspiration from a master like you uplifts my spirit. Best wishes to you for all your achievements.

Ha ha, Tom. I like the shape of pine-cones, they look mysterious to me - not in my yard, but like looking and touching them, scattered in the area. I have no experience in shape-poems, trying to learn. Thank you, Tom ~ Mala
