Beautiful and poetic "Hainka". It exhibits an emotional touch. The symbiotic is spledid and at poetic best. I feel humbled as many attempted the new form that I introduced.

Congratulations, Mark.

Thank you, Pravat – glad that the symbiotic worked! I'm honored that you took the time to comment, and especially for your commitment to form and poetic sensibility. I'm walking in some rather large footprints.

Loved that first one and I agree about the use of tetrameter. It has a nice kind of galloping pace that also allows for a little description and isn't too sing-songy in my opinion.
