Weekly Photo Challenge Haiku: Beginning II

Back to work — no prob.
After running the gauntlet,
I welcome this life.


Well, after two weeks off it’s finally time to return to what is considered to be normal. In some ways I’m looking forward to it – training on the Mazak laser cutting machines, earning my wages again and not getting paid through a magically finagled combination of holiday pay and paid time off. My widdershins world is running rightways again. The thing I will miss most is being able to spend the day at home with my ladies, Mme Ross and the wee one.

Box by box unpacked,
a space for writing is shaped —
finding my feng shui.


We have so much to do when we are moving from one house to the next. I, for one, didn’t think to call the cable company until a few days before closing and so of course we have to wait until Wednesday to get our Internet hooked up. I’m posting from the phone for now, and forsaking formatting!

For the moment I’ll
be incommunicado–
today is the day.



Today is closing day. Our house is empty and for a short while we will technically be homeless. I’ll be a busy man, and then pretty soon We will be back on daily life’s sweet rhythm. As for the picture – well, I had the pleasure of staying in this room on two occasions when this hibiscus had bloomed; surely it’s a sign from the Creator.

Haiku: Commune

“And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister’s story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

Haiku: Visionary

“Let the future tell the truth, and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.”
– Nikola Tesla
