I enjoyed your happy check-out chick! And the forest denizen too, in a different way.

I like the "the silent forest who is there to read her eyes," 'blind leading the blind?'

Love the haiku--hope that some joy is returning to us. And the second poem is a shiver and warning.

I like the mask haiku very much. The Sunday Muse poem? Well, it's creepy! It gives me shivers.

A ghoul so frightening even the trees shiver. You make it look easy, Gillena. So much conveyed in so few words.

I can hear the girl. The act of humming under a mask sounds so... natural, so human.

And the second poem is wonderfully spooky. I can picture those eyes...
