Welcome, Miriam! I love your Haibun. The symbolism of a stone wall really captures the philosophy of Americans today. They all wall themselves off from reality. Excellent thoughts and your poetry is spot on! Glad you’re here! ❤

Thank you, Colleen for your encouragement. This is sort of my Haibun. I might have written something like that before I read your explanation of Haibun which is educational. Now I fall in love with Haibun. I saw other blog posts of your challenge before, I didn’t jump in until yesterday. I love it.

This is my third year in the poetry class. There is this Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) held in 26 States the State universities for the semi-retired and retired folks. I take poetry, choral and watercolor classes. It suit me because I’m a professional learner. 🙂 🙂

Colleen, I agree with you. After getting so many degrees – 3 masters and 1 doctorate, I don’t need any more degrees, so I just take classes at Junior college or OLLI. It’s fun without pressure! ♥*♥*♥

The stone wall is so symbolic of this trend where some people are afraid to connect with others in their neighbourhood and your haibun expresses this beautifully ☺💖 xxx

Thank you so much, Xenia. One funny story was that two young adults met online and dated with each other. They found out that they were neighbors in the same apartment!

Two beautiful poems, Miriam. Life has changed so much and there is little neighbourliness left in this world. We have lived in our house for over 12 years and I hardly know the neighbours on either side. I too tried but my friendliness was not returned.

How sad it is these days! When I don’t trim my trees for a while, y neighbor trims it and throw it back to my yard. It’s so hateful. They are strange people!

Our neighbours did that exact same thing. Very mean, I agree.
