in my soul garden

Just perfect. What a beautiful reflection !

aww that was nice. you did pretty good to be restricted in that form, im not a big fan of them myself, but when someone does it well, i gotta give them their props.
-
That is rich and makes my mind wander.
Loverly. -
I am just starting to appreciate this form from reading Basho. I never could get the hang of it until now I think it's beginning to dawn on me, it's the shape of the phrase almost that draws you to the image of simplicity. This is lovely

I like the contrast between the title and the poem and the tension it creates, before the aha.

Blue and green - my favorite combination of colors in High School. Calm and soothing, inviting. Somehow I knew that something fluttered within your soul.
You have done well grasshoppa.
