Ending on a High Note


June 20, 2012

     They say all good things must come to an end and so is true for this site.
A year ago I came up with the idea of maybe writing a haiku poem every day for one year.
Who would have thought that writing seventeen syllables every day would be so difficult.
But a year later I savor and treasure the fact that I have a years worth of poetry that captures life in Newfoundland. If anything I hope you have discovered how wonderful Newfoundland is with such fascinating people, beautiful wilderness and interesting cultural experiences. At this time I would like to thank all of you who have found and followed this site for your support. I would also like to thank my family, my Sleeping Dragon, my friends, my fellow poets of the Wednesday Ship Poetry group, the Newfoundland Writer's Guild, The Ship Pub, the numerous followers of this site and my day job for all the inspiration and support. 
    Lastly and specifically I would like to thank Kars and Gwen S.T. who first introduced me to the option of blogging as a media to share ideas. 
                                            
I hope you will find your way to my new blog site...

What are they waiting for?
Puffed white heads, large gathering.
Perhaps the wind to change...

can't be read on Internet
it still does exist.
