Preserved
For Hannah Moore's Yūgen - a Community Renga
Petal placed between
Sheets of aged hard bound leather
Preserved for you, dear

Author's Notes: The brilliant mind of Vocal creator Hannah Moore inspired this Haiku. The Haiku stands on its own but was written to take its place in the Renga.
"Renga is a collaborative progressive poem ... join us! You just need to pick up where the last person left off, following an alternating format of 5,7,5 and then 7,7 syllable counts and linking your stanza to the last." -- Hannah Moore
Click the link to read the collaborative poem created thus far by Hannah Moore, John Cox, Teresa Renton, Rachel Deeming, Paul Stewart, Mike Singleton-Mikeydred, me, Heather Hubler, D.K. Shepard, Cathy Holmes, Sonia Heidi Unruh, Dana O. Crandell, and others? Maybe you? Cannot wait to see what comes next!
This Haiku, "Preserved," is intended to follow Dana's 7,7 "Acceptance."

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
