Dearest Rebecca, it is good to be home and as you know... our dear MMT took very good care of us. Oh what a songbird our Aretha. Her voice, the queen of soul, is in every cell of my being throughout most of my life at all the important moments... I am so grateful for brave souls like her who let themselves shine despite so much tragedy and obstacles, making the world a better place for us all. Like you. Like Haiku My Heart. Like this Circle. I am so grateful to be here. XOXOXOXO

Welcome back Rebecca, glad you're here again! I didn't know MMT hosted the haiku-friday the past couple of weeks... I posted my haiku on my blog but had no idea I could put my link up at her place. Oh well, I will take better notice next time.
Your haiku is a beautiful tribute to the soulfull lady that passed away. Her music will live on. Have a wonderful weekend dear!

Good to see you back, Rebecca. MMT was super.
And that is a lovely tribute you have for Aretha Franklin. May her soul fly free.
