stretch out to connect
seek support in trying times
strong shared survival
semi abandoned
water logged and muddy park
grace and glory gone
Note:
My granddaughter asked me about social contact. Then I found an artists with an impressive picture of Three Trees with excellent haiku . I wrote to congratulate them and wrote my first three lines , as poet to poet interaction. My submission was thrown out. Instead I insert a picture of a local girl I met in Northern Xinjiang. This morning I went to the community park here to do some exercises in big open spaces with abundant trees, and opportunity to meet some old friends. They did not turn up, due to the sad conditions of the park. I had to drag my aching knees back to my apartment unit.
