What a fabulous style. And you write it oh so well.
What great imagery you have in this haibun. I love
the way it keeps recreating itself with your words.
Wonderful way to imagine life...great ending..
one foot in the now
the other in yesterday.
The haiku is splendid and brings it all together.
Best of luck in the contest.

This thought-provoking piece really speaks to me--makes me think of how, as a young woman, I lived life at such a frenetic pace, I had little time to reminisce. Now that I have some age on me, nostalgia is my friend--just as described in your fine haibun!

    Thank you for reviewing.There was a time when I too did not understand the concept of nostalgia.. But that was then and this is now.

This is an excellent poem that reads so well. I like the form and found it a joy to read. Your thoughts and words are excellent. You capture the reader through out. I like the images and the close of your words in the last lines.
Good luck in the contest.
