Very nice lines.. Lil!
I am not sure mine is Haiku though..
But regardless.. still can enjoy the prose in whatever one writes!
Sandy is no longer with us, she passed on to the better world. Years ago, when my son was in middle school, they did assignments in haiku and I shared my son's haiku with Sandy, and Sandy wrote posts to Daniel encouraging him.
From what I remember, haiku is the art of descriptive words used in pattern, like painting a picture with words. the 5-7-5 syllable rhythm is the basic step, and just like any dance, you can get more complicated, but you have to stay in step.
I enjoyed your offerings in this thread, and smiled at every word.
