October 11, 2022 at 15:51
You don't have to guess when you have the internet! It's quite fascinating. The overlap. Perhaps it's easier for poets to become novelists than v.v.? ...
October 11, 2022 at 15:35
Fair enough. It does lie in what inspires you. Or what you are open to... I thought it might be a challenge to the mind; to think or express in a diff...

How do you know? No. I asked you first. Why the initial 'certainly' negativity?

Thanks for reminding me of haiku; how it is expressed and felt. Yes, there is a sense of loss and nostalgia for how things used to be. Loneliness. But...

Appreciate the follow-up to something I hadn't thought of as 'intriguing' when I wrote it. What was the lead-up to this idea? I need to backtrack: So,...
