A visitor to this blog once asked me to explain the appeal of haiku. I told him that haiku is to poetry as espresso is to coffee.

Thanks, my friends.

Me, too, Kristin.

Thanks, John.

Ambrose, I can relate. My wife is a retired NY schoolteacher.

Ah, Gillena, you do keep busy.

Here is one left from my wintry-train-serie :-)

Nicely caught, tikkis.

Make it strong enough, Anthony, and I'm ready to take on anything. At least, I think so.

Thank you, Juliet.

Great moment, Adelaide.

Thanks, all.
