    Geraldine, this is precious. I have a YouTube (not released yet) showing fish swiming lazily around in the pond, in circles. Your haiku reminded me of the way I felt that day. Until I realized that I should take a video. Great!

    Yes. No, the last parts were suggestions of conclusions to my poem that I decided to air. For sure the second one was not true in that my love had died.

    Hi Shraddha, Glad you enjoyed it.

    Hi Lissa, It is kind of dreamy, isn’t it?

    Hi Joe, Thanks for stopping by dear!

    Hi Gautami, I am so drawn to the water. I love to gaze at stones in lakes and rivers. Especially when it’s such nice clear water. May we never take that commodity for granted.

    Hi Jim, Thanks again for the great prompt. Your video sounds great. I am sorry though, to read about your marital difficulties. Hugs…

    I love looking at pebbles under water. For some reason it is incredibly soothing. I also like how they catch the sunlight and change colour. Just lovely!

    Hey Geraldine, thanks for your concern about me and my ‘troubles.’ That divorece was the best thing that could ha ve happened to me except for the first one to have worked out.
