Before the shock came
My heartbeat mimicking yours ~
Those last lilting steps

  2. Yes, a step as a lilting one. It was, I think, my last girlhood steps. I never knew until I wrote this haiku that on this day, 21 years ago, I took my last steps as a girl.

  3. Oh shock! I recently became schooled in shock and I can say that you nailed it here!

  4. I was thinking of the shock of cold water...here, in the Pac NW, the Pacific Ocean gets to be a balmy 55 degrees F or so. It is a shock. Looks so inviting.
