What an apt poem; you make the most of the senryu form. A poem like this can be etched into our mirror so that we see it and say it every day. Also, congrats on POTD for your Dig in Deep story too. Wonderful!

Of all times, this is an apt poem. I don’t know what I did, bit I can’t email anyone. This is where God steps in to calm me down.. I better reread this. Thank Goodness soupmail is Alive, I wish I were better at senryu and haiku. Haiku is harder because I’m not one hanging out in Nature.. No, I have written Haikus. Thank you for mentioning the POTD. That was a real surprise for me, David, Please have a wonderful day. BlessingsPangie x
