a blue dog sends the moonlight
back to sea

Thank you for the lovely haiku and the photos. As I am in Florida at the moment I have had a tough day dealing with the mass shooting of school children that happened here yesterday. Your poem and photos brought some light. Tomorrow will be better. Thank you.

Thank you dear Anne, it is so sad what happened in Florida, especially since the troubled youngster had openly announced what he planned to do and too little was done to prevent it from happening and give him the help he needed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the children and the families of all the victims. And yes, tomorrow will be better. Lots of love to you all 💜 xxx
