To Jim

You’re not here to pet
Me. No-one to stroke my head
Good luck tomorrow

Love you, babe,
D

Sunday Haiku

Ironing tonight
packing early morning then
ice cream, Nanny’s, noon

We’re going to the farm for a couple of days. I’ll actually have connectivity there thru my cell phone but I’m spoiled (thank Jim) with a huge monitor and wireless full-sized keyboard. Typing on the MacBook is something I mastered overseas a year ago but I make so many mistakes now!

Zoe dog and I went to say farewell to Paula, the pyro producer, this morning. She gave us both a hug. I sent her the shots on this blog and she said they were “awesome” and that pyro is tough to capture on camera.

High praise indeed. We’re taking Zoe out, grabbing something to eat and I’ll iron tonight and pack at 6:30 in the morning. Thanks for sticking with the blog. Cheers, Dee

I’d like to also send a thanks to Mr. Calvin Trillin for many years of intelligent, funny and easily read works. Check out the Tummy Trilogy! Here’s to Alice’s law of compensatory cash flow, Arthur Bryant’s and your beloved Principessa.

Conclusion of Haiku Challenge

Dear Haiku Participants and Readers,

With the absence of Mr. Ted Allen we’ve no valid judge. This competition is declared over.

So I judge the haiku (see tags) of pdxknitterati and Pam as the best.

Congratulations! What about all the others? Feel free to submit again next time.

Enough of a friendly poetry contest, it’s cooking next time. We’ll let you know the next challenge.

In the meantime, thanks for writing in as your comments are always appreciated (except for spam).

Florence

Firenze, art and
architecture that boggles
the mind, one’s senses

Fra Angelico
his Annunciation is
rhapsodic. See it.

Life Choices

A menu in hand
allows you to choose your next
best courses in life

Rosslyn

A train and bus away
Rosslyn was a testament
to all the masons

Carlin

Seven words were naught
This man was a genius
Sorry that he’s gone

Married?

The wedding ring clinks
It’s a strange sound but I love
Marriage and my Jim

remember the day
you sat with your mother and
ate grapes off the vine
