Bill, it's a strange thing about using web tools that our words become available to so many. BTW, I am a commercial pilot and the takeoff you illustrate above is perfect!

A "flight of fancy" monoku, reminds me of a water bird, startled out of reeds.... Wonderful way to give form to your monoku, Bill! (Enjoy your landscaping! ((Warm Hugs))

Dear Bill, your poem is a captivating exploration of the power of words to liberate the mind. I loved that each line flows seamlessly, echoing the boundless potential of our thoughts when given the freedom to soar. It's the transformative journey we embark on through the written word. Wonderful Write! - Blessings, Daniel
