About this beautiful poem, Carol Judkins says:
I think back, WAY back to 2013, when I first began publishing my poetry. The first poem I ever had accepted was in September, 2012, so you can see I was quite a novice at that time of this poem's birth. I am very pleased to think that it might invite comment, interpretation, and perhaps even criticism.
This haiku was inspired by a photograph, wich served as a prompt to me, a reflection. (The photo, incidentally, appears beside my poem in the aforementioned chapbook). If it is acceptable, I will defer my own interpretation of it, as when we send out our haiku, it now becomes the reader's poem. I would love…
Such a dreamy and beautiful haiku.
lovely poem and how I wish I could write these...
Yes, sometimes we get stuck up in our own fancy beliefs and practices and so hard to come out, isn't it?
Thank you Team!!
