Maria Williams Date: 3/27/2018 6:35:00 AM You described it so beautifully that I thought you had been there Tom. Though from your comment below I see you haven't.

Who knows one day maybe.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 3/25/2018 11:45:00 PM Aptly done, haiku are difficult, but you made these look easy. I want to know if uluru has another meaning.

Mick Talbot Date: 3/23/2018 3:57:00 PM Inspired me again Tom, sadly of the ongoing devastation that is still going on in Australia, and of an abused culture, the Aborigines. Non the less your choice of haiku now hangs in my favorites gallery... Mick. Login to Reply Tom Cunningham Date: 3/23/2018 5:19:00 PM Thank you Mick, I wasn't aware things were still going on over there, but all over the world you have abuses of minority groups, it is indeed a sad world that we live in.
