    Skite, Where Were You Today? Where Are You Tonight?
    A haiku--on missing my missing friend, Skite

    I'm worried, with fright.
    Where are you, my sweet friend, Skite?
    I call, day and night.

    Brilliant. Not easy is it Michael to make both a haiku and a rhyming poem? But you do so here with effortless prowess. Excellent. I do hope Skite turns up well though.
