jem said...: I've been away too long Bill. Little time lately for writing haiku, let alone the pleasure of reading the work of others.

Lovely to come back and peruse what I've missed. This one stands out. That sense that certain things stand out more when something else has been removed. So true of most of life.; 2:18 AM
