    Lovely!♥️🙏🙂

  • Interesting take on the challenge. Some calls, are no fun to answer.

    Yes! I hate talking on the phone. I feel this often!

    Fantastic! There are so many situations where this feeling applies...for me all the time because I hate answering the phone!

    Tragically accurate. '...frames the now' is such a stunningly poignant turn of phrase, makes the whole moment ring. Stellar work as always, my friend!

    As an introvert with social anxiety, all phone calls feel this way for me 😅😅 Loved your Haiku!

    Right on the brink, waiting for some sort of news. Not knowing what to expect or hope for. Definitely a heavy moment. Great haiku!
