Comment from Dolly'sPoems

Excellent

A fine Haiku for the contest Val and I enjoyed the metaphor here as some who are beautiful on the outside, don't always have a good heart on the inside, love Dolly x

You are very welcome, Val, and I appreciate your reply. I think a lot of people are taking it easy on the site for the summer. I haven't posted much either. I am pretty good; hope you are well, too.

Good

Very clearly stated, beauty can often be dangerous. Thank you for the very direct it of prose. Haiku is truly a lost art and lost on the interpreter as well
