That’s lovely. I’ve only recently ‘discovered’ haiku – and how wonderful they are to write – so thank you for reminding me that evocative writing needs few syllables.

I can see why you needed sweet and gentle after reading yours, K.D. 🙂 Whew — I got tired just reading about all that cleaning. Once again, however, I’m not sure if my comment is awaiting approval, or if it went to spam, but it didn’t come up on your blog. 😦 Rest assured, however, I loved it — especially that last line!
