I followed Ima, because I might have missed a few of your poems.
Your haiku is the simple truth, which can be observed any day. You have great skill, in presenting complex thoughts in clear images.

This is cool...and even has your dove in it.
The person with the hands sent me here to read it...I tend to do what she says or she clips my wings.
Why she didn't send me here months ago is beyond me...maybe was busy yelling at me.
Was she hinting that you should enter this in the contest of hers? She's shameless isn't she! Oh, Mr. Franky is judging too...he's so cool!
A beautiful and eerily perceptive poem.

One of the good things about contests that accept prewritten poems, is that we return to words that made us smile once and do the same job again
-
The world is as we have experienced it, isn't it? Not really!
Your image is very succinct.

Oh yes, that is it! I only hope I can heal the dove, someday
Thanks Ge!
Kisses,

What a gentle piece. i have held a dove in my hands, and once it found trust and gentleness it gently cooed and I could feel its little heart beating. It was such a beautiful creature. Thank you for reminding me of that day.

Lovely
Wounded, the dove fears even love ... In the helping professions, this principle is at the basis of resocialization - regaining trust.
Well done!

Hi Ma at kara:
A very beautiful expression of the care two hands can give. To ease their burden or fear with gentleness. This is an excellent write and say much more than the is shown. As they say, the whole is much bigger than the parts. This hold very true with this write. Bill -
