Haiku for Karen

Birds of a feather
argumentation our game,
friendship scores the win.

College debate partners from 1965 to 1969. Friendship scores over years and miles – that’s the real trophy in 2026. Just back from a wonderful visit with Karen in Sarasota, Florida.

beautiful photos, it’s rare in this world now to have friends like that, people are so fast to give up. Love that there still are some like that, loved the poem.
