left-overs stink alright; so why do some try to re-serve them ? unresloved and/or undigested fully, I say

Thanks, Lillian! I was being fairly facetious with the "making money" remark. I write mainly simply to express myself in a manner slightly more durable than standing in my front yard and yelling. It would be nice to make money for writing stuff, sure, but that's not the driving force for me.

Hi Jami... here's my take on your Haiku for what is worth. You have a gift obviously because creating Haiku's come easy to you. Ever hear of the book, Do what you love and the money will follow? I read that book probably five times trying to get "it". Here's what I finally learned through my own process...when I do what I love I feel more energy. That is what attracted others to me...to my work. Besides I wanted to do it for me and in the hopes of sharing that love and passion to improve others lives as well. Knowing what others like is nice, however I don't think that is the answer to making money. I think it is belief. Believe you can and you will. Keep writing, I think you have a talent. With love...L.

Yup.

Haiku doesn't come easily to me at all. I'm compelled to ramble on too much. So maybe I should distill thoughts even further, into a single word.

Nyet.

Hmmm.

I don't think this is working. Anyway, I really like that one...

Thanks, y'all. Haiku comes easily to me, sometimes a bunch of them all at once. I just wish I knew in advance what other people are going to like. Then I might be able to make money at it!

So true!

I commend your ability to haiku. I remember how challenged I was to do my first one. I like what you wrote. Who wants to waste their energy arguing anyway.
