You are welcome, Mirela, as are your comments. I don’t think I write the typical commentary as my commentaries are more reflections of how I interpret a haiku.

Of course, the poet writes (and has one thing in mind), but the reader often sees more or something else altogether. Hopefully, I saw what each poet meant in all of those submitted and published haiku. Peace, Nan

Margaret,
I understand. It is not the length of time they are with us, but the time that was so joyous.
Peace, Nan

Tuyet,
I understand your tears. It has been years, but I can still become teary-eyed over the pets I had. Taylor must have been really special. Peace, Nan
