*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

This is Soo Beautiful & touching that it almost brought tears to my eyes! 🥹Excellent work Cathy!
I'm happy it's okay to cry. I've done it a lot these past few years.
Beautiful in every way! And the image is perfection. Fantastic work, my friend!
Damn. Brilliant.
Wonderful✨
That picture is so perfect for this. You could've gone with a rainy shot, or a storm, something dramatic or artistic... but it would have been so cliche. The lonely red bucket packed such a punch.
i enjoy every bit of your writing and will always read
Heartbreaking, relatable and so elegantly penned Cathy!! I love a good rainfall (and cry, when it's needed)!!!
Oh. This was so sad and optimistic all at once. Love this a lot.
It's always okay to cry. Screw those to who otherwise. Your Haiku was so deep and beautiful!
Poignantly penned, my friend!!!
Aw, this is so beautifully done and we all need a good cry every now and then =' )
What a great title and haiku! Love the blend of imagery with that powerful punch of emotion
Such a beautiful sky-ku! 💙🩵
This made me do a big heaving sigh! Lovely.
I'll be looking for the Top Story here. Beautiful piece, my friend!
Beautiful, meaningful and surprisingly liberating, Cathy. Another excellent entry to the challenge!
Such an emotionally packed haiku! Well done.
Ah, that last line is so emotional
Yup, it so is. Well done Cathy!
It sure is. Nice haiku, Cathy
Ah, hugs to you, my dear friend. This was so touching, and yet sad and cathartic at the same time.
Grief continues and reminds you at random moments. 💖
Sweet sentiment
Sure is okay to cry. Beautiful work, Cathy!
