Ah, my dear friend, you so excel at the short form! The gift of your potent pen spills profound poetry layered in textured imagery of emotions that far exceeds the syllable limits of a monoku. So beautiful, Paul. The word "search" is so evocative, emotive and effective! Congratulations for your well-deserved recognition with POTW honors, a very worthy choice. Warmest wishes and hugs, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan P.S. Love the awesome title too! :))
