Sharp words tear my flesh,

discard my spine, now a pile 

of limbs, forgotten.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback.  I looked at some of your work and I absolutely love the haiku called Breeze. Your imagery is amazing and you are also a master at free verse. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Memento Mori- It means that nothing lasts forever, no one is immortal, sooner or later you will die and things will come to an end. It also helps you realize that while you are living you should do the most with your life, live life to the fullest.

I adore your haiku, truly a work of art in my opinion.  I am so glad that someone writes their haiku's in the traditional fashion.  Look into some of my work, if you like, and if you like what you read, I would love to speak with you.
