Hi Nathalie--
That is a spectacular haiku--
the earth moving away--I can feel that in my belly--

Thank you so much!

O how beautiful! And the last line is powerfully dramatic! Almost a sense of fleeting sadness there!

Beautifully distilled moment!

A powerful, almost surreal, last line. It suggests many images.

That is a beautiful last line. The earth is at once grand and somehow small! Thanks for this wonderful poem.

Sad, but beautiful. The way you combined your photo and poem works so well. Even the color is part of the mood.

Dramatic and gorgeous!

The photo of a stone statue paired with the earth moving certainly evokes a dropping of the stomach and a lurch in time.

I think I understand how this moment feels. Thank you for the reminder.

I do have some guttural reaction to this. Fear, I suppose.
