Thanks for your comments everyone. Willow: you humble me with your comment Stafford: GPBaaaa has blown the cover on my love life. Ange is my long suffering partner, mother of two, wife, companion of 35 years. Still not bored (she or i). Amazing. Sadly she doesn't read my blog so she is blissfully unaware of my adoring words and my addiction to her yellow hair.
Tina; That's what i love about haiku. The choosing of the words where you try and capture soemthing special in the fewest possible words. Thanks for your comment.
Jennifer; Thanks for your gorgeous comment. Funny how sometimes it just tumbles out right!
