11. That is so interesting – in your cobweb haiku the language and accordingly feel is very kinesthetic, and here, despite the wonderful imagery what really seduces the reader are the soft sounds of the words – a very audio poem. Beautiful.

31. Beautiful images. I like the use of rhyme and not-quite-rhyme. Too much rhymed poetry is all self-conscious and trite, and yours is not. Thanks you for sharing this beautiful work.
