Numbers-14

@Duncan Galbraith: It doesn't matter if you are first or last, your comments are very much so appreciated. You, much like Damon and much like Chris, always produce lovely, evocative, narrative, compelling images; it's clear that you are a fine photographer in your own right thus your comments always are welcome and appreciated.
And, ya know what Duncan, you might not be a master of Hakiu but you are still more than capable of producing a well written, intelligent, deep statement and reaction to a piece of art. And that is something highly valuable in my world. Hearing your reactions in their well thought out form is equivalent to adding an armload of lumber to a fire already burning brightly for the sake of art.
And yes, haiku is a bit rough, for a free verse poet it is, at first, challenging and constraining. But that's the beauty of it, you have 17 syllables to convey yourself in, you have three lines to tell a story with, and the very nature of haiku yields itself to shorter lines and a bit of ambiguity. It's challenging, but once the challenge is met the results are worth the challenge many times over.
