I applaud your choice of the haibun for this significant event. A fitting tribute and meditation.

[X. P. Callahan]

Thank you, Mark.

Awwww. Sweetness and sadness all in one sitting.

[pamm hanson]

Oh I do love this. And the choice of the haibun is so perfect - and I loved learning about them!

"I didn't tell her" sets such a lovely bittersweet tone. and "I wanted to cover him". This whole piece is so "you". love

[Celeste]

Amazing, X.P. Could it be a Phoenix haibun if you use the 3rd erasure to construct a different haiku or poem?

[X. P. Callahan]

Sounds like a plan, Celeste. Hope you'll try one!

[Laura Pilnick]

Beautiful words.. sad story of our Nature Channel home

[Jen Rose Yokel]

Oooooh this is good. and I’ve played with haibun before but never heard of this variation. I think I need to try this out…

[X. P. Callahan]

Thank you. And, yes, please!

[David Donoghue]

Poor lil dude

[X. P. Callahan]

Indeed.

[LeeAnn Pickrell]

This is heartbreakingly beautiful. I love how you've written it, with the erasure at the end.

[X. P. Callahan]

Thank you so much.

[Mary Holscher]

This is so beautiful and moving. Sky Burial is wonderful. The haibun is wonderful. I appreciate and agree with Pamm's comment, "This whole piece is so 'you.'"

[X. P. Callahan]

Thank you, Mary.

[Cathy Wickham]

I love this. Thank you. I felt like I was there with you.
