Echoes of Regret
There are moments in life when our decisions cast long shadows — shadows that stretch far beyond the moment we first make them. Echoes of Regret captures precisely this timeless human experience: the way past choices continue to reverberate in our minds, hearts, and relationships.

Such a cut bird and fine haiku! Keep going with these, Bill. Nature poetry is the best!
Awww another adorable one. Loved your poem!
Beautifully-written!
Beautiful. And I love that Pessoa quote!
Another really cute bird that at times makes a great alarm clock. Good job.
Another great haiku, Bill. You really should consider a table book of bird haikus <3
