Self Esteem Here...
A Response to Another Thought...
Note: this is based on a haiku written by Paul Stewart on self-esteem and how hard it is to find it (please read his work first before looking at my response):

I love the concept of replying to haikus with more haikus! Nice!
This was a nice read. Good work.
Yes!! I saw your comment on Paul’s piece, I’m glad you decided to publish this one 👏👏
Well said.
So true! ❤️
Truth spoken plain, though often it feels false.
like a glove with grace and an almost perfect glean! Just when I thought I didn't like Haiku again they drag me back in...
