I love Noh theatre. I don't understand an inkling of it, but the masks are beautiful, and so is this haiku!
Best,

I am trying to work out whether this is actually in answer to the last message I sent you before I went to bed, rather than a comment on the poem.
Whatever the case, thank you. Have a hug and a heart full of love.

Every time I write a haiku I have this nagging doubt that it's actually rubbish!

Clever and perfectly penned. Will you write something crappy someday so I can tease you?
Love,
