HAIKU MY HEART: Summer Serenade



Inspirations:

flute concert
speaking Japanese fluently
the shakuhachi
by Jane Reichhold

sultry night
the sound of the shakuhachi
deepens the silence
by Chevrefeuille

My Haiku:
warm memories of yore
crickets serenading us
delight of fireflies

Hoosier Quote:
“When people hear good music, 
it makes them homesick 
for something they never had and never will have.”

Lovely Nonnie. Fireflies to light our way. I adore the sound of crickets, and cicadas. and anything else Mother Nature gives us. Especially night sounds.

The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping.
