The revised version is far superior.

i don't know how "far", but i agree
that the haiku is better for posting
as it is. Β the other version could be
edited though... Β

It's a great and deep comment, and artfully crafted into an equally great haiku.

Very nicely done!

I agree with the first comment... they're both very good, each in it's own way.

I'm not sure which version I like better, the comment version sounds so natural and grounded but the haiku has such lovely alliteration. I also like how your comments on other works can find themselves turning into your own pieces, it's a creativity and spontaneity I admire and envy.

thank you for the fav, Rick, and
yes, the original comment seemed
as good in its own way, compared
with the haiku it had morphed into.
so, i kinda posted both.

i'd say at least half of my ideas come
directly from other people's works.
each comment can take a moment
or an hour and more, as i see it
becoming something i hopeΒ is worth
saying. Β
