  3. Communication is the devil in a relationship. Lucky for him (a.k.a. hubz), I’m quite loquacious! He says he mentally checks out all the time! >_< Lovely poem, my dear!

  9. I wasn’t familiar with this shorter Tanka style–very interesting! The poem–sad, and yet, how do we know that maybe it was God’s plan of protection that they didn’t become a couple?

      4. I am not sure if it is a novel. The idea sparked last night. I was just going to compile my poems in a book when it suddenly popped!

        Thank you my dear sister! ❤
