PROMPT: Holiday
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
Thanksgiving. No gifting. Full bellies. And the world would be a much better place if we all took more time to feel gratitude.

Exit Wound [Free Verse]
What tears away in leaving,
when one has grown into:
- a person?
- a place?
Can one grow into someone
(or somewhere) such that
one is fused in a way that
won't allow separation
without leaving a sacrifice?
Maybe one can't help but be
webbed into some wider world,
and can't help but leave
pieces of oneself littering the Earth.

Ikkyū Limerick
There was a Zen master named Ikkyū who was thought by many to be cuckoo. He'd allow a toot on his very own flute. Which was unbecoming of flutists (& monks, too.)
