gorgeous haikus - and the pictures
once I committed to write a haiku each day now matter what, for a year - my year of haiku. It was a way to have a little meeting with myself, a ritual of sorts, or a practice.
Some were rather pedestrian, of course... then sometimes it was more like they flew in on the wing and astonished me. This is one of those.

These are all wonderful. Question: What is the date of the NYC photo? Comment: poetic that the last photo is black&white.
