Re-tired and ready for the roads ahead. Poetry; Music; Art; Reading. Whatever brings me peace. I was born in a land, but my home was half a world away.

I cannot believe I have to say this:
My interests are right there in my profile.
If someone follows with no content no follow back.
If someone only reposts no follow back.
If the accounts have nothing on those interests no follow back.
Some may be blocked.
Enjoy your weekend

“No! The Turkey ISN’T Done Yet!”
I made this inspired by 1950s sitcom moms, my love of vintage pulp art, and that trainwreck of horror and humor that is American Thanksgiving. :-)

one of my mother's favourites
then I fell in love with Eva Cassidy's version

One day, when Confucius
was out walking,
he met a quilin, a mythical creature
appearing, when
a great #sage dies.
He knew then
that his time had come
and tears filled his eyes.
The gentle beast
rubbed his head
against his leg to
console the wise man.
Then, Confucius sang
his farewell song.

Cheers to the storytellers, the yarn-spinners, the tale-weavers, those who #transport us into elsewhere and otherwhen. We are grateful trespassers in gardens they planted specifically for our wandering. They counterfeit reality better than reality manages, then share their forgeries freely.

i flew before i could walk
as i was transported half a world away
from the land of my birth
my first home
a pacific atoll
straddling the equator
six years later
when i left there for the last time
my innocence lost to abuse

if you read and listen to the words
you hear one message
but if you listen to the silence
between the words
and read between the lines
the message may be
entirely different.

welcome to another haikuable day, everybody!
today's #haikufeels #prompt is
apart
we're apart now, but that doesn't mean we'll be apart forever—
heck, I might see you tomorrow!
