hurt

    How are you? Thank you so much for

  5. Rain that tastes like hurt... sometimes all interaction hurts - everything around us that reminds us that we do have feelings, that we can feel and we can't shut everything out, anything touching us can hurt us.

  6. Dear Pinkerbell,

    Touching does hurt. Sometimes painful enough
    you must regroup in your private place. Then
    there are the times when the hurt is a good kind
    of I'm alive and human hurt, like a good tired.

    Wonderful of you to visit again.

  7. Dear Marie,

    Soft and stunning imagery as always. If you ever compile a book, may I provide the photographs?

    Adore what you do and wish you would drop more pearls, more often.

  8. Dear Clarity,

    I'm stunned, in a good way. I slowed
    down because it seems as if no one was
    reading my poetry. My haiku to come.
    What a generous offer, Clarity. Creating
    a chapbook of haiga is a dream of mine. You
    will be the first person I contact.

    Thank you again, for your kind words.

    Marie

    P.S. Please don't forget to return.
