This is excellent and you chose such a different topic for a poem. Who woulda thought to write about a tumbleweed.
You made it very interesting and I enjoyed every movement. You kept the poem swiftly moving and kept it going. Poor thing getting snagged.
Happens to us humans too. We go round and round and then go pfft!!
Cute idea. Thanks for the read.

Very entertaining I must say, with lots of twists in this plot. I am thoroughly enjoyed every single word you have put out there, but I am sorry to say I will be leaving on Dec. 1st.
I am wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, joy, and a heart full of gratitude. May you always enjoy the amazing work you do here on site. I will treasure you forever.
My best with blessings,

What a lovely presentation this is! I rarely saw peacocks growing up in Brooklyn, but I had the opportunity to visit Kenya, and outside my room were peacocks showing off for the visitors.
Recently, I was visiting my cousins in Ft. Pierce, Florida and an entire street next to the Church was lined with Peacocks. Needless to say, I was totally bewitched.
Great job with this Haibun and Haiku. Loved it!

Oh my. This really is a sad tale. I hope it isn't about anyone you know. Being in the war and then being a lawyer had to be stressful for poor Charles. I am so sorry to read that he had actually become a hobo and lived his life in such a horrid fashion.
It was a good story, well written, and truly very sad.
I hope you have a happier story after this one.

I shivered with goosebumps when I read this. How great are your words of love?
I see the picture so clearly and know they hold much love in their hearts for each other. I've been there and seen the heartache of sickness. The caregiving necessary to take our love through the day and night is a blessing.
I lived there once and took your haibun to heart.
Thanks for this lovely share.
My best always,
Marie

This is great stuff to ponder. We should all consider the Now, Eternity and moments. They are all here for us to enjoy. As 'I AM' we should be present in all these wonderful days and nights we are surviving.
So many times we are caught up in our own busyness that we fail to enjoy each moment as a gift.
Thanks for reminding me, Roy. This is exceptional.

What an excellent tribute this is for the truckers out there. We would never have believed we would suffer a shortage of men to carry out deliveries.
I see now on the news that women are starting to learn how to drive trucks to ease the deliveries of goods to us.
When our supply chain is affected, we all feel the crunch. It is time to respect and raise these truckers' salaries to prevent our economy from suffering anymore.
Thanks for this great poem.

This chapter certainly made me smile. I am so happy for Analiese that she is safe and in love. What a great catch this was for the good guys.
It was pleasant news to know that you are recovering and doing well in the hospital. Thanksgiving won't be the same, but Her loved ones will surround sally.
I enjoyed this chapter very much and look forward to the next.

Good for you. This was a great take. I love the pic and the words.
You are giving a great competition for the others.
Wishing you much luck.

How incredibly wonderful this is. It should be considered literature for a children's book. The artistry is well defined with beautiful rhymes. I loved it all!
I can see that there is also a moral at the end of this delightful story and wise words to remember.
This is sensational and a great presentation.
So glad that you shared this.
