#173: nocturne

11/29/2015

 
after intense work
feasting, shopping; more eating
play the nocturne... sleep
Picture
could add to that "work load" driving, but in fact it was a most enjoyable four days with family, friends and some face-to-face time with a colleague from Chicago who was visiting family and could make some cherished time. 

A great resolution — if we can even in a small way keep — is to live every day as a day of thanks-giving. ​I'll put up a picture of a wild turkey to remind me — the totem in Native American culture of abundance, giving, renewal and rebirth.

  1. Music. a piece appropriate to the night or evening.

    The Word of the Day comes from Dictionary.com. Use the word in your own haiku and add to the comments.

    Improve your vocabulary and your haiku skills at the same time! If you don't know the definition, it's below, but see if you can figure it out from the haiku and/or image. 

    Poet and designer, David Alan Foster has been experimenting with haiku since the '70s. He has inspired (or possibly offended) many with said experiments.
