Dear Kala,

from India
A haibun, Kala...keep every moment and share it with us. I know it will be a wonderful experience.

Dear Carole,
I will try to share every moment and I guess the other members too can pitch in with their experiences!
It is our First - so it becomes special like the first child?!
But it is going to be on very humble lines but still having made the beginning - I know it's going to be great fun meeting our fellow
poets from India.
first frost-
our handshake
passes the warmth
Warmly,
kala

will all be in my thoughts!
