pill by pill
I put my pain away
prickly spines
Where I’m at today. Not feeling the greatest Sunday afternoon and woke up yesterday morning with something “out” in my lower back. I could hardly walk. Thankfully I’m a little more mobile this morning, but not out of the woods yet.
If you’re young and your spine is supple, do take time every day to keep it that way. This is no fun! 😦
My last just-for-fun haiku was well LIKE’d, so here are a few more that might give you a smile this morning. Which one do you like best?
abashed ambassador
sent home for breach of conduct
feeling disconsulate
*********************************
playing Monopoly
the money we made and lost
a rich childhood

the last notice is terse:
time has come to be blunt —
their lawyer’s next vacation
Just-for-fun haiku:
mice in the pantry
the cheese is all Swiss
sculptors at work
Great Book:
Book Blurb has just informed me that Going to Green is being offered for free right now. Do check it out.
I read this book last winter and thought it was a good and inspiring story. Chicago news desk reporter Lois finds herself an heir in the will of a colleague who just died of leukemia. She inherits the small-town newspaper he’d just bought in the South. For his sake she ventures into an unknown place and discovers her calling — and a minefield.
I’ve just read the second book in the series, Goodness Gracious Green and found it equally enjoyable. (Spoiler alert: Loved the ending!) Judy Christie is a skillful writer and weaves a great tale.
Posted on Treetop Haiku this morning:
moments at a time
days trickle past — raindrops
slipping down the pane
And here’s another, thought up after a walk by the slough, observing —and seemingly observed by — all the cattail heads:
cattails in the slough
crowd watching a parade pass
the elephant waves
small brown boy hidden
among the berry bushes
you think no one knows
where the berries are going
your red little lips
on this grey morning
even the blooming hawthorn
is a kindness

Sunday morning
low pressure system
only one eye open

As least that’s how it felt this morning. 🙂
Except that our cat Pookie is part Energizer Bunny and part rooster, eager to be up and at’em as soon as the dawn expands into morning light — about 5:30 am these days. He never bothers dear hubby; I’m the one who should get up and give him his morning treat, then let him outside for a romp. If we’ve forgotten to shut the bedroom door he jumps on the bed and starts prodding me until I get up and humor him — or shut him out of the room.
I’m light-sensitive, too, and can’t sleep when it’s full daylight. Early morning’s a good time for blogging, so I’ll post this verse that dawned on me first thing this morning.
By now I have hundreds of haiku verses and plan to start posting again on Tree Top Haiku. I’m doing some setting up and have scheduled the first ones to appear May 1st.
