Thanks, Red. There seems to be so much doom and gloom in the world today. I think a Haiku style poem may have originated to convey beauty. Think I'll try that way, you know, the cherry blossom, the swaying rope bridge, willows in the warm summer wind, your lover's smile. Placing both Doom and Beauty upon a scale. But cheating a little bit, by placing one's finger on Beauty's side, outweighing doom.

Again, thank you. Will follow your lead in the writing of Haiku.

Plenty of dedicated Haiku sites available on the Internet R. Just type 'Haiku' into Google Search if you're interested ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

There is much gratitude here. An empty belly suffers, the rice is a blessing. Succinct, but says so much Randall.

Chris, we who have so much need to be more grateful. Gratefulness should be in the eye of the beholder, as well as the one who receives.
