On the Recent Win
Chest cold and coughing... 'Congratulations, Kendall!' My symptoms faded... * Note: almost as soon as I received the news that I had finally won a Challenge, I got sick with a bad cough that lingered in my chest. I took Saturday and most of Sunday off to handle it, along with the work I had to mark and prep for my students, but I still feel rundown. But do not fear: I am still writing and I have at least one other piece on the go that will be up soon. This haiku just explains my state of mind now.

Beautiful piece.
Spare and subtle, redolent of gratitude without saccharine sentimentality. Deftly done!
This is a bit cerebral for me, I'm not great with poem interpretation but I do love the texture of this one. As in the overall emotion of this piece feels foreboding and almost overwhelming. It's beautifully written with intense imagery that provokes thought and self reflection for me!
Beautifully said! Completely agree!
This is absolutely gorgeous
YES to this. I felt this in my bones. Thank you! ❤️
Good thing our words float, and somehow, they cross the vast ocean (of technology) and come here
Starving for want of another's presence, a hand, their tender touch. Words are just words without meaning when there's no skin in the game.
It's always a surprise at the lift a few words can bring. Wonderfully put. 👍💙😊👏
Judicious placing of that single period at the end, nice touch. It's the little things that count. You hit the principle of sentiment traveling from a distance spot on.
