I've become the unofficial bard of thank-you haikus, sent to friends and family after we get together. I try to do three at a time. Here are recent ones to wrap up 2023.
The Country Series
The country kibbutz
floats by the Delaware
Rachel and Alain's retreat
Rachel and Sonia
Lives depend on their work
Fighting the good fight
The sprawling kibbutz
Easy to wander its halls
The cats—never lost!
Brooklyn’s empty nesters
wonder how to fill the quiet
Well, why not more cats?
Alain's new ragtop:
Matthew's birthday Mercedes;
Drive it in good health!
NYC 8-8-2023
Van Gogh’s “Cypresses”
Breeze along the centuries
His gift to forever
Senior pass on buses
Such a deal! Hitting the road
Saves bucks for ice cream
Cye, Mel, matzoh balls
Old family recipe
for a sweet new year
Founders of TBT
Cye and Mel are the Old Guard
That earns free parking
Mel at Samson AFB
Cold war front line of defense
but why no airstrip?
And here's one taken directly from the siddur today:
You open the Book of
Remembrance, which reads itself--
Every man signs his name
A Davino delight
Seven fishes for dishes
By the merry tree
Suz, Virg, Neil, KR
A merry Christmas cohort
Repeat the next day!
Aoife is a bit shy
Likes to look but stays away
As guests keep coaxing
Kevin and James
Hosts deluxe and truly friends
Stone Ridge swim team champs
Global travelers
Stocking up Christmas baubles
Stories for a tree
Cleo likes her quiet
Nibbles on her kitty food
While humans chow down
