Hi Not,

I kind of want some type of punctuation at the end of the first line. What do you think? Or alternatively you could just start the poem with a lowercase letter and leave it without any punctuation at all. Personally, I think that would work better and maybe make the title all lowercase too. I think it’s more a senryū than a haiku. It’s more about human nature than an image relating to nature.

Cheers,

Tristan

Hi Tristan,
thanks for the read and the suggestions.
Yes, I think all lowercase and no punctuation would do.

Regards, Not

(tweaked accordingly)

If you say so :) I'm sticking with 'not a haiku' (just to be on the safe side)

Thanks for the read.
