Captured hearts

    I love your haiku along with the photo. Is there anything more zestier than three old friends kicking up their heels? I’ve enjoyed reading your haiku during the month.

    Love this and the photo. Reminds me of my German Aunties, although there were four of them. They loved to have a good time.

    “Zest beyond reason” – a great line! The picture is great, but your words are wonderful. “Captured hearts” could be so many different relationships.

    Hi Becca
    You are the one who first introduced me to Haiku.
    I have to admit I didn’t think much of it at first.
    I am now hooked completely-
    With love

    I’ve enjoyed your haiku so much – even though I haven’t always left a comment, I’ve stopped by to see what you’re up to. This photo and haiku are just wonderful – so much exuberance! Congrats on completing the challenge, and happy travels to your Muse. I often joke about mine heading off to Poughkeepsie – she’s a fairly unsophisticated Muse!
