This was a beautiful collection of Haiku, my two favourites were 9 and 11. I loved the idea behind the advice of it not being a typical fortune cookie. The cat one just pulled at my heart strings since I have three cats! 😻
Fantastic string here! Love the plant haiku and can totally relate to the outcome:) the others are wonderful as well! Great job!
