Congrats on 800! You obviously hold the strength and tenacity of this pillar! Love the storks looking over their domain – your haiku translates the fragility of all.
Ah.. just wish I could have the tenacity to read as well… so behind on the reading…
I empathize – I too am behind. Just wait until you retire. You expect to have sooooo much time, it just goes faster – I think.
Great angle there – bringing in an important haiku word,with the stork, which makes everything work so well – the visual really shows it – and the haiku resonates like Basho’s ‘warrior’s dreams’ . A superb haiku about the past and now.
I was quite happy finding the picture… it was like a gift really.
Congratulations on 800 posts!
That is amazing… the power radiated from your haiku.
Well done! 800th post, that’s unbelievable. I love your interpretation of this “wonder”.
Congrats, Bjorn, on your 800th post and for a well written haiku 🙂
a beautiful smile of a poem….and huzzah on your 800th…
Wow…that was a fast 100. I still recall when you posted your 700th. I was ahead of you then. Now you are ahead of me. I’ve slowed down recently. Hadn’t really noticed how many till you posted that.
Yeah I post too much.. Have to slow down
Smart birds! 😉
