Haiku

straining, desperate
ragged breathing -- gasping air
trying to surface


About the photo for today: I have had a couple days of great difficulty breathing... and it's beginning to get to me. Sticking close to home; I wanted to find an interesting photo for today's blogpost... and had these gorgeous figs in the refridgerator. They were not only very photogenic... but very tasty

So.... I was running errands today... and came across one of those tacky-rific crane machines with stuffed toys in it. This one, however, was full of St. Pat's themed toys.... how cool is that?!
The photo of the ivy is from a brief stroll through the plant section at Home Depot.
Hence, my photo for the day...

And, I am posting a new Haiku....


((.....thoughts of march.....))


Gaia sings at night...
tall bare trees dance in the wind
spring is coming soon

well folks.. here it is. The last day of the last month of the year. In many ways.. it has been a wild ride...but I wouldn't have it any other way. I thought I would end the year with one of my humble haiku poems.....

round and round we go

spinning wildly thru days... months

must eat funnel cake
