Life is way too short to fix your eyes on something dull. I thank the Lord for my mania and ADHD, my fly-away hungry eyes that have their own tongues (and teeth).

This is entirely too real; love it! Although, there is the pressure to not be one of those…(Crud! and I was planning on writing boring poems all week…)

Yep. I was trying to write a YASP (Yet Another Star Poem), and I had a moment of clarity. Thought you would appreciate “The Snores”, LOL!

You made me go back and look at what I wrote for this one to see if it was YASP…
I wish you would stop challenging me to be a better poet!

Just went back and read your Haiku — I liked it a lot! Salted sky isn’t YASP in the least.

Simply stellar. Gazing upon this haiku has shown me the way… still somewhat milky, but still….

Hahaha! Thanks!! You sure that milkiness isn’t early onset cateracts?

Fairly certain. Our dog wouldn’t put up with that. She doesn’t like cats, early or not.

A stellar poetic haiku. My eyes have seen such beautiful stars beyond the light years of the cosmos. I love this my friend. 🙂
