Ha! It's a good thing I'm trying to stick with the 5/7/5 rule of haiku and nothing else. As wordy as I get it keeps me in check or I would go on and on and it would end up being a love letter rather than poetry.
I'll branch out to free form when I can control the amount of dribble I write. This haiku effort is teaching me to keep it short. I'm learning. ;)
btw-thank you for the compliment, but what do we know. LOL.
