to the ground

Does it fall as fast as a stone? Does it land as hard? I don't know what that means, but it made me think. Love it!!

This haiku is as soft and delicate as the image it portrays Masago. Thank you.

Do pigeon feathers have pigeons? Great moment.

Pat: Ah, deep questions...glad to have spurred the ponder. Thanks.

Karasu: Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully the beta thing will be ironed-out soon.

Floots: Thanks, you've verbalized its character and identified aspects I hadn't considered.

Polona: Thank you.

Bill: Interesting thought. Thanks.

Tim: Thank you, mate!
