CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI: The End in Sight

Thanks to our host Kristjaan for continuing to host this meme.

That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
