to detail

This started as a tanka and I cut out the introspective bit, but think it might still be implicit.

Hi Dave, I like this one and think it works well as a haiku. I also really enjoy all the photos you come up with for your posts. Great work!

These snow poems have been so exciting and engaging – you have a such an eye for detail, and for seeing beyond the obvious. And the sequences work really well. I don’t know how you manage to be so productive, but keep them coming please!

  Thanks! I’ll do my best. I am hyper-critical of my own work sometimes, so hearing your perspective is valuable.
