    Hi Lamar! My insights aren’t working because I’m using my iPhone. They still glitch. I can only add when I borrow my friends iPad. I tell you this because I would have chosen every one - from Outstanding right through to Masterful Proofreading. I can deeply relate to this poem. It reminds me of some of the ideas I was trying to explore but was grapping with - and at the same time learning how to write a Haiku. A favourite line? All of them: ‘oceans of light—sketch of a distant past, fraught with whispered desires’ Thank you for witing and inspiring me! Pauline 🌸

    Wow, Lamar! Beautiful, deep and filled with longing. Everything one could desire of a poem long or short. I hope this is a contender. It certainly is in my mind.

  • Aw Lamar, this is just stunning x C x
