Haiku for Fun

summer days winding down

I'll not miss your muggy days

leaf peepers prepare

sometimes days are hard

tomorrow will be better

you are not alone

garrison Keillor

got a ticket for tonight

I need a good laugh

OMG! Enjoy!

Save some rhubarb pie for me!

Wish I could be there.

Tessu, I'm so sorry about your dog. My beloved dog Max died early January (when I was halfway through chemo) ... I still have to swallow back tears when I think of him, and try to reach for the happy memories instead. Your haiku is lovely.

abracadabra and magiclight thank you. And abra, so very sorry you lost Max at the worst time (((hugs)))

My dog was almost twelve when I started chemo, and already had bad back problems and mild heart failure. But she got so much better the whole time I had treatment (op, chemo, herceptin). Then a couple weeks after my post-Herceptin check-up, when my doc gave a clean slate, she went downhill very fast and we had to put her to sleep My younger son's comment helps a little, sometimes: that my dear dog rallyed to be able to be by my side when I most needed her, but then when the worst was over, she was like"Hey Mom, you've got this. You don't really need me anymore. I'm so very old now and so very tired and sore, may I please go to Heaven now?" Our vet came to our house and put her to sleep in my arms --- then we both cried our eyes out. I still miss her very much, and probably always will.

tessu and magiclight ... your comments are so moving. I'm in tears but also smiling! There is always comfort to be found.

new job, all is new

places, faces, rules to learn

I'm a child again

oh what fun it is

to live vicariously

bc sisters rock

first blush of orange

brightening the maple leaves

autumn is coming

log in yet again

I see a room opened up

Grand canyon beckons

taxol nails

Pepto bismol cramps

Expander pains, implant gains,

This body that marches on, I survey

Give God thanks for every breath

Winter's upon us

I saw snow flurries today

I'm just not ready
