I am so moved and touched by your words. I love seeing your haiku as a collection. I love your reflections about writing haiku. There is freedom and voice in breaking the rules. I love the accidental haiku about Jesus. And you know I love the bike riding ones. Thank YOU. ❤️

Thank you for reading, Kortney! My mom just texted me and told me that the numbers had some repeats, so I tried to smooth it out. Now I am curious which of the number fours you liked. How did I not realize I had two?🤣
