who could know then 
the endlessness of eyes conjures the depths of soul – so very nicely put
ty Laura, and you are so right about the depths of our
soul being evident in our eyes. and Scout is the most joyful, old soul i know.
no wonder she is your muse – so many souls are just tormented
you are quite insightful, no, there’s not an ounce of torment in her.
it was me who owned torment, but she has certainly changed that!
and that’s part of what’s unsaid in this poem, ty so much for recognizing it.
Reblogged this on 20 Lines A Day.
the promises in the eyes … i like this very much
hi Sky, ty. it’s always been about the eyes with me,
it’s where i find the truth and her eyes go on forever
like the sparkles in the galaxies…
Beautiful.
hi hitandrun, ty so much.
You love her dearly, that come across clearly – beautiful
hello dawn, ijust this minute got a three word text,
so i guess the feeling is mutual. how lucky am i?
A very felt piece. >KB
KB, i was thinking back to one of the first conversations you and i had
on your blog, and at the ambivalence we both felt about the Haiku form then.
i’ve immersed myslef now to the point that the syllable rythm is intuitive,
but what i really wanted to accomplish, and not lose, writing in Haiku was
a true, passionate expression of my emotions. i wanted the Haiku to resmble
‘my poetry’, within the discipline.
so your comment is really meaningful to me, that maybe i’m making some progress in what i was hoping to fully express in 17 syllables.
ty so much for this valicdation.
You’re very welcome but you did all the work. >KB
Deeply moving, that this is a once in a lifetime gift of love comes across very clearly.
Chess, thank you for telling me that, because it’s somewhat effortless
in free form poetry to be very emotive when i write about her, i wanted
to challenge myself a little and see if i could express that much emotion,
in that small a syllable count.
your reaction suggessts that i have, ty for that encouragement.
In short, you nailed it.
and i am so glad we found each other, in this great big WP universe!
a beautiful Haiku indeed, capturing the essence of your feelings for Scout in ’17’ – not easy to do – but you have succeeded. {hugs MF}
well ty, very much. i wrote this a few days ago and scheduled it,
then i was rereading it this morning and one 3 syllable word just
wasn’t right. so i changed it, and i think it made all the difference.
and that’s one of the things i love about this form, one single word….
Love the Haiku!
Scout sounds like a wonderful person and full of life!
oh i’m so glad you enjoyed it, ty.
and yes, she is one special woman, i keep being amazed
at how such a small frame can contain so much joy!
Enchanting!
