Little Things Big Things

~ sojourningsmith

Day 9 NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo the prompt is about little things meeting big things. I wrote this haiku as a writing warm up.

 

Dust motes Blue Danubing

An afternoon tea dance

Sunshine chiffon swirl

Then I carried on some  and woke up my husband and said, “Listen to this poem I just wrote.” And he rolled over, listening, then sleepily smiled and said, “Make us a cup of tea?” And I did, quite happily.

The Little Things


Locating the lost keyring

without smirking

Exclaiming how the meal prepared

is art on a plate

Also

he likes eating my cake

He forgives the cat scratch

even as he’s threatening to scud its ass

He takes exercise

and watches his diet

Determined to outlast me

so ultimately

I will not be

the one left

alone

This blog is a record of a writing journey. Having lived in three countries (to date) I must have what my mother calls 'itchy feet.' Perhaps that makes me an experienced sojourner, someone who stays temporarily in places. But I am also someone deeply interested in acquainting myself with the soul of that place during my sojourn.
