Dear Dolly
This may not be quite the direction that you hoped this would go, but you know, an eternal truth is an eternal truth !
COUNTERPOINT
Capricious nature : what you can have you don't want; that's women for you !
Love Alan

Yes, Alan, absolutely! Wonderful!
That's women for you: they make warmth for their men; keepers of the flames

Dear Dolly
Your last line is 6 syl, so I've shortened it here :
Keepers of the flame the hearth, home, and family ? Demand equal rights !
Love Alan

Thank you so much, Alan! What a goof I made, but it's neither the first nor the last, I'm afraid. I've taken the liberty of correcting my haiku. Here's my rendering for this day/night:
Demand equal rights when faced with voting choices good for all concerned

As he floats away, flicks of powdered dust invade in a rising cloud.

Dear Dolly
Couldn't figure out what you meant until I checked back to Daniel's last line.
I find that you have used a very witty "same sound" word, but have to tell you it is spelled "gnu" !
Love Alan
BLESSED SLEEP, FOR ONCE
One per year is borne, dreaded too - rather sleep than party, New Year's Eve.
