i wish you many more puddles to walk through... and lots of sunshine in between :)
Magyar, John, gautami, and polona, your good wishes are deeply appreciated.
Sixty six? you said 76 at your profile, Bill :)
whatever.."I CAN" is the feeling one should always have..that makes a lot of difference :)
Good that you have, and so good is the haiku too, Bill :)
God Bless,
devika
oh my i misread..its seventy six you said here :)
wishes,
devika
Just as long as you don't piddle just because you can. :-)
Yes you can!! I feel the same way, just 20 years younger. Happy birthday!!
Yep, Devika, still 76.
Thanks, Vaughn, I needed that.
Pat, the best is yet to be, according to a rumor circulated by one Rabbi Ben Ezra, aka Robert Browning.
Thanks, my friends.
like entering
an ivy-covered cave
where light
weaves laces on the floor,
I step into myself
Many happy anniversaries, dear Bill!
Thank you very much, Dana-Maria.
A happy Puddle-walking day, Bill!

Stay blessed & Happy Birthday, again and again...

Juhani (to call you by your rightful name just once), Gene, Gillena, Angelika, and my anonymous friend, your good wishes are deeply appreciated.
happy happy birthday Bill ... if i could i would give you a real hug >>> Gina
I can feel it from here, Gina. Thank you.
Fantastic haiku and a belated happy birthday. I think once you reach your age, do anything and everything you can, and love it!
When I have moments when I feel that I'm still not in control of my writing, that it's not going where I want and how I want, I remember you Bill, and your little BIO saying how late in life you started writing haiku. You are very inspiring to me.
Thanks for those thoughts, jem.
that feeling
we know
we don't :-)
I like that, Nathan.
