Post a CommentYou should write more haikus, Maria. I'm not being a creep by saying that. You've VERY good at this poetical form.
Great description
God, I'm trying to find new stuff to comment on! You should do more haikus, Maria. Easy to knock out, and you're good at 'em!
I like your Haiku! Pity, it made the pity pot. But I imagine you've got more than 30 views on it now:)
Here's another pity page view! But I actually liked your "Then" but "When" was "Then"?
I want some pity page views also!! LOL ... Cute reminiscent haiku. : )

Aw, I can picture you now, you adorable moppet!

I like this surreal haiku.
