Karen, I'm experimenting the Haiku/Ekrephis, I mean, it probably takes more than (1) Haiku to get across the full-effect! TY, KJ~

Tyvm, Valsa! My mind tends to lean towards the eclectics/ renaissance temperament? If I have the opportunity to add art, I'll do it. Blessings :)

Great K alliteration. I was wondering who Klimt was and then I looked at the painting and it all made sense!
