Thanku: Poems of Gratitude inspired my Thanku/Haiku-a-Day this month. I managed to get November 1-15 onto Twitter, and I'm back on Twitter with November 26-30. Here are the ones that were written, but never made it to Twitter!
11/16
Deer in the headlights.
Same spot: hawk swoops low with prey.
Blessings from the wild.
11/17
Step, step...mind elsewhere...
suddenly...no step...PANIC!
Floor, meet hands and knees.
11/18
Irresponsible.
Antiques Roadshow was a splurge
and I'll pay for it.
11/19
Final Prep Thanku
two days of sub plans
hours and hours and hours of work
then just walk away
11/20
Travel Day Thanku
For the traffic jam
NOT on our side of the road --
relieved gratitude.
11/21
Award Selection Day Thanku
A day of hard work:
laughter, talk, perspectives shared.
Not just the books won.
11/22
Presentation Day Thanku
Bad sleep, up early,
back-to-back schedule ready.
Right now--calm. Quiet.
11/23
Almost the End of Conference Thanku
complete exhaustion
sleep wraps you in its blanket
cradles you gently
11/24
Driving Home Thanku
Ridge top silhouette--
bare November trees, silo.
Evening sky--one star.
11/25
Words Spoken Upon Releasing Into the Garden the Spider I Captured on My Office Wall
Dear Tiny Spider,
Life has infinite value.
For yours, I give thanks.
