1. Your poems always have the knack of making me smile 🙂

   • Thank you. More than anything else that is my goal, a smile, even when the subject is somber or scary, well, there is something to smile about , too, usually, and I try to find it. In this case I hope the ugly thing finds a home, knowing me, it will probably be mine, as I did not want to hurt its feelings???!

     • Like beauty, ugly is in the eye of the beholder. Some people have no taste 🙂

2. touching.

   • Thank you. I hope it finds a home. Probably with me, I can’t say no and hurt feelings especially when everyone else is so blunt!

3. I”m with Jane. This made me smile, too (as I handed it back). 😉

   • It seems it was meant to stay with me?

4. They just didn’t look closely enough I think. (K)

   • Yes, I think the same thing, there is something appealing in almost everyone and everything and I try hard to find it. Life is better when you are searching for good rather than bad, I find. In this case I am sure I ended up with the ugly thing and took it home and made it a warm bed and a nice dinner. Because I wanted it to belong. Oh dear, this is getting way too sappy.

     • But I agree. Although I don’t always follow through I must admit.

5. This perfectly fitted my sketch today of a familiar, but understated building in our town centre, soon to be demolished and replaced by something shinier, but not, to my mind ‘better’.

   • Yes, we see this happen here too, and I usually mourn (although in some cases the new thing did look better than the old one…) and I am always happier when the old gets revived and given a new chance.

6. […] Without the internet I am unlikely to have ever found Claudia McGill’s Haiku 365. […]
