Take On Me
Haiku from AHA Take On Me Take On Me Fleeting youth takes flight Leaping blindly into love Gone in just a day. There are so many amazing people also creating poetry around this theme but I can only access Vocal on this old phone and can't log in on any computer now for some reason or other... So not doing well at responding to feedback but know I really appreciate it. And if you're from Vocal please respond to my cries for help via email ❤️
