I adore the history and wildlife where you live....such a stunning spot. And I can see the influence in your poetry. Design is one of my favorites too!<br /><br />I was especially taken with your thoughts on haiku....<br /><br />'writing Haiku, I discovered, is more of an inward journey that forces you to look at things with renewed focus. Like an over-eager novice, I am enjoying the learning experience.'<br /><br /><br />Wow that is a perfect description...so many people think it is easy to write...I find it is a soul stretching experience.
