Hi Billie
Beautifull Haiku and the feel of isolation, but you are prepared and have your potassium and protein – a wonderful, captured moment. Quiet, reverent friendship-the owl a symbolof good luck and wisdom. Thank you , I enjoyed this very much. karina
Your haiku and haibun have wonderful cinematic details. I can see and feel the scene and I want to know what happens next.
