Re: Lifelong
Yes, I like those lines & imagery too; and furthermore see them soloing as a haiku:

She returned the coin, not enough, she seemed to say, and wanted a note. She had her standards, standing outside an hotel all day and sharing her baby to ooh-a...

Re: Shall we participate in the IBPC this month
Because, before I posed this question & link here, there was no activity in the monthly IBPC thread at Palaver.
I hoped this would activate interest by others than myself.
Thanks, Kenneth, for your question,

Re: Without Rhyme or Reason
Hi Siva, Workshopping the 1st stanza, mainly for punctuation: I needed to know if there were cicadas at Avalanche. On the other side of the valley, giant rhododendrons bloomed. Already my son was making a ruckus, asking that we leave. Where else in South India could one see solid ice? 😎 Michael (MV)
