   still grappling with this art form! can’t wait to hear what my Haiku coach will say about this – I suspect though that I may have exceeded the number of stanzas allowed for one haiku!

   Noel, this haiku chain is beautiful, beautiful! Now, if you want to post it on Haiku Heights, #2 needs some tweaking (maybe change obsessed to fixed so it fits the pattern–though I love it as is). These are all so wonderful–interlinked but each stands well on its own. You do so well with this form, breathing life and energy into this tight form, almost magically.

   Here is the link to Haiku Heights–please, please, pretty please post this gorgeous haiku chain there! http://haiku-heights.blogspot.com/

   Noel–try “blinkered by fine points” or “blinkered by trifles”, or perhaps “screened by trivia”

   Curse the 5-syllable requirement–I love what you have already!

   Truly amazing Noel! You captured the life of haiku which I gather is not limited to any number of stanzas

    “we chase blank shadows and let
