Hi Gypsy;
I love this haiku. The images brought to mind by your words were lovely for me. Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your depression. I'm suffering too, and I empathize with you. Please feel the love I'm sending your way,

~patty~

G'day mate.

Yum, sugar cotton clouds! lol. You have a very good imagination and it shows through in this nice and well written little piece.

How are you feeling? A bit better than the other day I hope.

Cheers Fez

Oh, very sweet. I really like the line 'sugar cotton clouds'. It reminds me of when I was young I had a second job working a fairy floss machine. There's nothing quite like cotton candy pink floss. I like the 'sweet' theme of the whole haiku.
I am so sorry you have not been well, Gypsy. Do hope you are feeling much better. You play such an important role on this site as a teacher and guide. Cheers, Giddy

Love this haiku poet. Conjures up an image perfectly without a picture. I've looked at clouds before and seen cotton candy ( in them)
Sometimes they've looked like that. Fantastic satori in every way. Bookcasing this if you don't mind.
Btavo!

This is another lovely haiku that makes me think of candy floss. Please don't let that depression win.
I posted My Soul the other day thinking of you and other FanStorians and friends who are feeling down at the moment.
Take care. Big hug.

Cheers, Gypsy;
-I was very taken and moved by your ingeniously creative haiku that is especially soft sounding with the "S" words that slowly and quietly produce a soft sounding aura to the haiku.
-Even the sweetness of your intentional words like. "molasses" and "sugar cotton clouds", which is also alliteration, creates a happiness of thought and also describes demonstratively how visually molasses moves slowly in a great inventive quality for your description.
-The alliteration in your satori of the words "sweet Sojourn" not only is a beautiful alliteration but also acts as a relativity to your conceptual theme of your haiku and gives that moment of a spontaneous excitement of understanding.
-I'm glad you did not use the picture because you painted one perfectly.
-Opening is fine and take care and have a good one especially with all those that you love dearly.
Alex

A very well-written haiku. The clouds can sometimes remind us of the candy floss we had as children. We had some pink clouds a while back that had that effect on me.
