   of his mind — wonderful

6. “harvests of his mind” left me awestruck. All your haiku are wonderful. You must really know your art. Only a few artists I know or can recognize. Your images are always perfect.

   Fieldwork

   • Indeed… and it always seemed like a quite meditative work.

9. Awesome set of haiku. I like the way you have spreadend the prompt to a Western sight. And that last haiku touched me deep. That one has a spiritual layer which I like to see in haiku. Chapeau Bjorn.

   • Thank you Kristjaan.
