Almost Always, Haiku
In spring love might turn
If you’re there to plant with me
Almost and always

In conversation, I prefer Christopher. My mom named me after Christopher Robin, after all. In writing, I use “C L Couch” (or, more simply, “c l couch”) because the form is genderless and also frankly easier to use. I have awful writer’s cramp. I am an educator more or less retired, more or less due to disability. At present, I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA). My writing here I mean to be occasional and also devotional. Either or both. The banner and profile photographs are by my friend and peer Debra Danielson. More of Debbie’s work to be enjoyed is at debradanielson.org. Thanks to each of you and both and all for coming to my blog.

Thank you, Annie. Your response is more touching than the verse. Love blossoms. Sounds just right, dear friend.

Goodness, I must have been! Kilig indeed! I wrote more words while bitten, too. (Later posted.) Thank you, good doctor, for the diagnosis!

I find the almost – being next to always- as a gentle way of giving the other time to think and act. A gentle soul waiting and not imposing.
Beautiful! 🙂

Thanks so much for what you say. Almost always is what started the rest of the poem. I don’t recall how I put those two words next to each other. Yes, I think the almost is a reminder not to move too quickly or with anything like perfect expectation. Hope you have good days!
