Nice to see you in the haiku group, Marlene. Thanks for your upbeat comment.

How about a haiku which incorporates your attitude toward loneliness?!

As you can see, what we have done over the years should really be called "fractured haiku" because it follows almost none of the rules (especially the "serial" haiku). I found dropping the rules made the form more accessible and got people writing. And that's what I was going for--fun and creative release.
