“On a Journey” by Hermann Hesse [w/ Audio]
Don't be downcast, soon the night will come,
When we can see the cool moon laughing in secret
Over the faint countryside,
And we rest, hand in hand.
Don't be downcast, the time will soon come
When we can have rest. Our small crosses will stand
On the bright edge of the road together,
And rain fall, and snow fall,
And the winds come and go.

PROMPT: Online Communication
In what ways do you communicate online?
Snarkily, sincerely… all sorts of ways, really.

Gibbous Moon [Haiku]
clouds dance around
the gibbous moon’s bright orb,
one warm winter night.

Winter Gloom [Haiku]
under gray skies,
the flooded paddies
amplify winter gloom.

“Sitting Alone on Jing Ting Mountain” by Li Bai [w/ Audio]
The flock flies high and vanishes.
The sole cloud drifts to oblivion.
Mountain and I exchange a gaze,
Until only Jing Ting remains.

PROMPT: Road Trip
Think back on your most memorable road trip.
Through Michigan, across southeast Ontario (visiting Toronto,) back into the US at Niagra Falls, and back around to the start via Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
Memorable because it was probably my first purposeless road trip of a significant distance (as an adult and as a driver.)

And Then There Were Two [Haiku]
a pair of blossoms -
all that's left on the tree:
two blooms - side-by-side.
