The older I get
the less certain I become
about anything;
a condition my young self
would struggle to understand.

By the way, have you ever read, D.H. Lawrence’s poetry? This morning I read, “Fish”. You might like it.

I will give it a go. I haven’t read much poetry really – although I do like Seamus Heaney

I have a book of his poetry, but only pick it up once in a while. I do like his stuff though; he often wrote about his response to the natural world.

His book ‘Death of a Naturalist’ was a set book at school, and I loved it.

Ah! I had not heard of that. My dad had a book of poetry which included his poem, “The Snake”. It has always been one of my favourites.

Thank you. It was actually the 11th. The haiku was a day late. Not a great time of year for a birthday, but I had a surprisingly good one.
