Oh Stef, how sweet you are to defend me but I didn't mind John's comment. We mud-maids are used to this kind of personal abuse! xx

I love the Haiku and to bring life and death and human frailties together on one has my vote for a good one.

I'm not the greatest fan of haikus but I really like the sentiment. I think Stafan's nailed it "bitter-sweet". Just noticed though - I think your bush could do with a trim!
Keep posting.
