So much said in three short lines, Neil. We all have a survival instinct....and when push comes to shove, it is there for us. As they say, we are like tea bags...never know how strong we are till we are dunked in hot water! :) I liked this, Neil. Lydi**

Me experimenting with Haiku . I like your insightful thoughts here . Thanks Ms Lydia .

Well, no surprise here...
I thought maybe you would talk about "checkmate" as in chess and use mating season as a metaphors for chess or chess as metaphor for love ...

Still, I liked the picture and the simple wildness of the poem.

Thank you Dhaye... I read about Sir Joe's poem " Once In A Blue Moon " . And that thought came to me as an interpretation and translation to his thoughts. And I held my breath for when I count the syllables, it turn out to be a haiku... and so I posted it here...A please to always read your thought and input Dhaye...
