Creating, collecting, and sharing thoughts and ideas. And learning along the way.
My thoughts in haiku. And my thoughts ON the haiku: The integrity of the haiku lies not so much in the three-line 5-7-5 syllable scheme as much as in the meaning it conveys and implies.
My Mom and my Dad / Beautiful and evergreen / Anywhere at all!
Best part of bike ride? / Smelling the honeysuckle / Besides the fresh air!
Note on picture: My beautiful blue bike that my sweet husband bought me last summer. It’s definitely out for the season. Only I might have overdone it a bit with an hour-and-a-half ride today… something tells me I’ll be sore tomorrow!
The Fourth of July / Celebrating liberty / For 235 years!
For a Wiki entry on the context, and details of the rest of the text (from the title of this post) of the document commonly known as the Declaration of Independence, click here.
Note on picture: In all gratitude for the freedoms that I enjoy, I proudly fly the U.S. flag from my house for the entire month of July each year.
Eighteen years ago / I thought the world of you, love / Today, I still do!
Note on picture: Dug up from the annals of history in commemoration of a special day coming up on July 2nd. Circa early 1993 in New Delhi, India. Later that summer, we were sharing the same last name.
Fresh mint in season / Good for a chutney, I know / Or a mojito?!
Honor and tribute / To all our fallen heroes / On Memorial Day!
Note on picture: A beautiful white flowering bush on the campus area downtown where we were lucky to find street parking on this holiday!
A Merry-Go-‘Round / We get on it and stay on / As long as we can!
Note on picture: Taken circa 1997 in the beautiful Appalachian mountains. Two of the three in the picture have morphed into beautiful creatures with adult-like bodies. All three are still riding the Merry-Go-‘Round, and so far have managed to keep their balance quite well.
Sweetest Priscilla / You and me in Old Navy / Two pods in a pea!
Note on picture: My sweetest cousin in Dallas, Texas wearing the Old Navy hoodie I brought her! Pity we didn’t take a picture together, but next time for sure!
