Thank you! 🙂 I was so tired when I wrote that last batch. I honestly thought they both sucked, but when I read through them this morning, I was happy with how they turned out.

I know what you mean – when we’re tired it can be difficult to hear our own work properly. I loved them and actually your last haiku inspired a poem for me yesterday so an added bow of gratitude to you, CB!! ♥

“Strolling on the Thames
Centuries go by”…
So much truth in your words – I feel the weight of history every time I go in to the Office (beside St Pauls).

The South Bank is my favorite place to walk in London – not only is it beautiful but it whispers so many stories. 🙂
