Thank you so much for sharing my post again! I really appreciate it more than I can say! I also took part in Beth Kempton's Winter Writing Sanctuary and found it so inspiring... I really love your ambition to write a Haiku a day 🙌

The Sanctuary was just brilliant wasn’t it. We’ll see how the haiku go... loving writing them so far

That was an ‘on the spot, addition. Loved it at the time but is making the next instalments a bit harder! 🤪🤦‍♂️

What a great way to start my day! I so needed this grin. I tried to read it last night and was all…ohhhh no. I’m gonna need my brains fully online to be able to take this one in. Too many clever, tickling, intriguing little beats to pick and choose here. THEM hangin’ in a black hole sticks out. And the all-cap names for THEM makes my day. The other one that kept flashing through my mind was Hitchhiker’s. So fun!

Wow Sam! That’s a hell of a comment. Not sure if you’ve read my bio but I think I now legally owe you a whisky 🥃… Really pleased you liked it and thank you so much for commenting.
