a sense of haiku

2078. hitchin’ a ride

tired of hoppin’ ‘round

hitchen’ a ride on a tire

round and round he goes 🦊❤️

I had to chuckle at the sight of a grasshopper hitching a ride on the tire of a car. Round and round he goes. 🦊❤️

2077. birthday party

candles once all lit

one by one they lose their flame

in life’s wind tunnel 🦊❤️

Yesterday we attended a surprise birthday party of a woman from our apartment complex. There is nothing like a bunch of “oldsters” celebrating birthdays. A great time reminiscing about the good old days but at the same time being grateful for the good day we are still enjoying. 🦊❤️

2076. look and look again

like a big green leaf

had to look thrice to be sure

“look… a katydid!!!” 🦊❤️

No matter how many times I spot a Katydid, I always have to look at least two times to be sure! 🦊❤️

2075. for eno

we lit a candle

to lift our prayers to heaven

he was lifted too 🦊❤️

My son Jeff and his wife Anna just lost their beloved dog Eno to a sudden onset medical condition. Yulan and I lit a candle to raise some prayers for his recovery. Our prayers were not answered as we wished them to be - rather Eno was lifted up along with the prayers. Rest in peace Eno. You will be terribly missed. 🦊❤️
