Thanks for sharing. Having some of my gather and freecycle e mails going to gather are going to Spam, I didn't set anything to send it to spam. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
The juxtaposition of the metaphysically abstract noun phrase "life's vastness" with the specificity of an inwrought miniature of nature "tiny pond" indicate this poem of scale and solitude is the solid craft of a mature, insightful poet.
Jim, this is magnificent. I like the repetition of the word "by" here... first in a functional role, and secondly, to convey nearness and even identity. Superb, Jim. I'm making this the feature article in Haiga Poetry.
I'm honored, Ed. Thank you for creating the Haiga Group. The added dimension of images (traditional or digital) with haiku adds to the richness of the experience.

Hi, Amy. Thank you. How was that trip to the sea?
"Life's vastness" - "tiny pond" - profound contrast. Excellent!!!
Hi, Shawn--I'm glad it uplifted your spirits. Thank you.
John--I'm honored by such high praise and hope to continue to earn it.
My pleasure, Cheryl. The artwork phase of haiga really opens up the form to satisfying enhancements.
Thank you, Barbra. I appreciate that.
Thank you, Anne.
I like the statuary with your poem. And the poem itself is quiet and lovely.
I'm glad you enjoyed the serenity here. Thank you.
You're welcome, Jill. And thank you for those nice comments. I love this added dimension of "picture" with the haiku.
your talented pen.
I am enjoying this not just for the beauty, poetry and the color. I'm enjoying the warmth of this!
So cold this morning, just what I needed. Thanks!
