“Nodding off in church

floating on a scripture sea

count it as a prayer”

Tavia, this haiku collection is lovely: a celebration of spring, family, and nature. There are so many strong images. I think my favorite might be the snowstorm of cherry blossoms.

I love all your haiku, especially the one about nodding off in church and floating on a scripture sea. The one about the moon echoes my own feeling of her being a faithful friend. And the owl poem is delightful, both the surprise "Two" at the end and the way the end words echo sound of the owl's cry: "two, hoot, two".

I can’t even stand how much I LOVE your haiku. You have a unique way of doing line breaks! And you capture the essence of each moment. And what this season of your life is about. And your loves. Thank you so much.
