  6. I'm very impressed. I used a quote from Don Paterson to start a poem on my blog awhile ago and these feel something like to me - . . . hauf-jyned, hauf rift
    thir heids doverin
    unner the licht
    yock
    o the lift.
    But how do I subscribe so I can find my way back again?

  7. Strange and familiar - the scene, the sound and your haiku. And than this wonderful word for playing ball or kicking: somewhere between flowers, cakes and sea mammals. Thank you.
