    • Thank you very much, Alan Summers, for reading and commenting on my haibun poem. Your observation has me rereading it, myself, and re-immersing. I value your comments, time, and perceptions!

  1. Weaving the haiku through the prose is a very striking strategy for writing a haibun.
    It’s literally like reading between the lines of both the relationship and the final conversation. I will be thinking about this for a long time. So clever. Thank you!
