There is no one here
It takes two to start counting
And to multiply

Old typewriters have
No one in their number row
So all old ones are Ls

A #haiku scratched out on this gray day:

I shake out my shoes
in this drizzling rain- but
the pebble remains

Some weekend reading while camping. Really good so far, explaining the confluence of influences from China, Shintoism, and Buddhism in Japanese culture surrounding both poetry and death

I’m happy to have had a poem I submitted selected for the Syracuse Poster Project which this year celebrated iconic Syracuse businesses!

Last year’s #haiku contest prize notebook with the original haiku:

black line in blank space
calls to my red-feathered thoughts
rest here a moment

Inspired by my photo of the male cardinal…a poet rectifies the space between the line and the void.

Cheers, it’s Friday!

Time to stop taking things so seriously!

Do something inconsequential this weekend, and do it for yourself.

I frequently refer to this sign I made in my classroom. I don't know where I picked the quote up from, but it works in so many situations. #work #teaching #classroom #work_ethic #inspiration #writing
