Did you post this? Or not yet? I happen to know your inspiration behind the haiku, but I love it just the same! The tension between first and second lines is perfect!

Love the first line,
How one little word with a comma can say so much. I had never thought of a person being closed. And then reality slips. And the only way to have an adventure is to be open.
I actually pictured someone in a closet in the first line. Someone hiding.

Haiku! Loved it! It reminds me of the way reality floats back to you when you finish a really good book that you’ve been reading for hours. It’s what keeps me going back for more! Thank you for sharing, it was great!

Ah, the beginning and the end of a book. It’s hard to start a new one after finishing one you loved.
I just started reading The Nightingale, https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/kristin-hannah/the-nightingale-hannah/. Thought I’d recommend it because so far so good. (It’s my before-bedtime read.)

In just 11 words you said so much! I love the feeling of reading a new book, too…of “reality slipping” away to be emerged in a world that is not my own for just a little while. Wonderful post.
