    Wow! Really loved the strong word choices in this. I remember watching the wall torn down on television. Loved the last line. Wonderful work!

    Very moving! Seems like yesterday that the Berlin Wall was dismantled.

    I found a single haiku on it's own a really hard style to use, I struggle to do what you have done so well: convey big thoughts in very few words :)

  • Whoaaa, I loved your concept here using branches and walls! You're brilliant!

  • Nicely done
