Senryu: Bed Time

Exhausted evening

the kids are put to bed; and

now it's time for us

Blog: Resumption Resolution

After a longer break than I intended, it's time to get back on track. This year, I want to write more senryu and haiku, but also try a few other forms. I probably won't be posting frequently or regularly. I do welcome all comments and feedback - or even just an email to say "Hi!".

Word Art: For My Friends' Wedding Day

I made this using Wordle, a little internet toy to generate and lay out "word clouds". I fed it the sonnet I wrote for my friends' wedding day. Not surprisingly, the focal point is Love.

Haiku: Um-ber-ella

Cool summer showers
become torrential downpours;
now I'm soaking wet!

Sonnet: For My Friends' Wedding Day

Will Shakespeare called love "madness most discreet",
...He never met Q6 and OKP.
...Though mad, of course, they really are quite sweet,
...They cannot hide their love - it's plain to see.
"The sight of lovers feedeth those in love,"
...Wrote the Bard. Today's a celebration
...As friends and fam'ly join to be part of
...Our star-kiss'd lovers' nuptial conjugation.
Today, they're getting hitched and promise this:
..."A lifetime filled with laughter and romance,
...So, every chance we get, I'll want to kiss,
...And every time there's music, want to dance;
...I'll never love you like I did before;
...Because, my Love, each day, I'll love you more."
