Notes about poem and art:
• “On the Way” reminds me that the haiku form is like a palate cleanser to me—clean, refreshing, concise. To my surprise and delight, I’d elected to feature this poem today along with a photo of my next watercolor card to Caroline without realizing, until I went to put them both on the page together, the ways in which they would link to each other!
• A Single Point gave me the opportunity to take unexpected pleasure in the colors and shapes of a cardinal flower; in its natural outdoor setting the spiky form of this plant has not historically been one of my favorites. Now it holds a place of fondness in my internal catalog of flowers!
