   That is such a good idea about starting a booklet. That could be such a great way to practice, Lord knows I need it. In the little digging I did on her it was such a joy to read about her and her work. Awesome take.

         I do it all on the memo portion of my phone which seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I’m trying to get 600+ haiku and other poems off of it by handwriting it into a composition book ( a la Richard Wright). LoL!

         I hear you loud and clear…I have a beautiful book a friend gave me as a gift to transfer “by hand”…I have not gotten too far.

         I am up to 330, but I had to get out of the house and plant myself firmly at the library to get this far….:)

         Good strategy! I find when I go to a coffee shop I am more disciplined as well.

   Great idea to create a little booklet … I write all the episodes for CDHK first on paper, and than I post them online. In my opinion it works.
   As I started writing haiku I Always used a booklet, so I have a lot of haiku written by hand on my Bookshelf.

      I found her death poem was letting go …peaceful. Thanks for your nice comments and visit, Milan.
