He was a crusty old curmudgeon
Set in his ways
Happy was not a word to describe
How he spent his days
Until
The first grandbaby
Softened his core
Love at first sight

Pic is of hubbymoose – taken this past summer on one of our take the grands fishing days. Love him and love the way he loves them.

the Trifecta challenge this week is . . . well, open to interpretation. 33 words using a diagram of the earth’s core, mantel and crust.

Thanks muchly to the Trifecta editors for making me their first Featured Trifectan. I am honored.


Black Friday is here
I stay home, snuggle instead
Peace abounds in me

for Lou’s Haiku Friday

At the end of the day
Contrails crossing the velvet sky
I settle into my chair
And listen to your snores
You

At the end of the day
Sun sinking into Cook Inlet
I reach out to caress
Your hair your beard
Me

At the end of the day
Ocean waving goodnight
I trust myself to you
After all these years
Us

At the end of the day
We say goodnight
And bless each we leave
Behind to grow
Future

At the end of the day
What is left to say
We lived, we loved
We leave it all
Behind

Velvet Verbosity challenges us with the Remains of the Day. Although my doctors told me today that I am “young” (as compared to the older folks in their waiting room) I am entering the last third of my life. And, so, my thoughts often turn inward and these words reflect that.

Rosy cheeked builders
Following fresh fallen snow
Snowmen rise upward

Time for Friday Haiku with Lou.

It happened at last
Snow is falling quietly
Purification

It’s Haiku Friday with Lou
