Ah! You really surprised me with Your ending line! isn't it what a Haiku supposes to do ;). You know my friend (fraiku) is a one creative word!

[Neville]

It is indeed...my take on a fake, hence faikhu but you are correct... it is a neologism or new word.. Hope it catches on and ta very much for reading.....N

Oh I love this. For so many reasons it's witty it rolls across the page with honesty and it is tender.

[Neville]

You got me in one......nah really, bless you dear friend, you are too kind....

[Cherrie Palmer]

To me the best poetry has a life of its own. where your words have a kaleidoscope of possibilities from aging love, lost love or even a father's love.
The added gift poetry brings to us (the writer) is the readers POV.
This has that and more.

[Neville]

[Neville]
