Saturday morning, I left the house and drove into town to the village park. Sylvia had gone in earlier to hold a place for the TASYL picnic. The TASYLs are a group of female Amateur Radio Operators from Michigan. Sylvia is their Secretary/Treasurer. Most of the husbands have become associate members, and we all enjoy the August picnic. The weather is usually nice and we have a lot of fun visiting with one another. The gals get together each week on their radios, but it’s good to see friends face-to-face. I was in no hurry to get to town, so I was taking my time enjoying the ride. The radio was off. It was just me and my thoughts riding down our road. The haiku came to me in Spanish.
Viajaba sin prisa,
Contentisimo.
As I thought of you, I realized it would need to be also written in English. Around the bend and a little further down the road the English words came together.
Traveling without hurry,
Feeling contentment.
It was a very good day with lots of goodies to eat and lots of friendly conversation. On days like that, one feels particularly blessed.
Vanilla,
Thanks. And may the remainder of August be kind to you.
Jakill,
What a great idea. I wrote 5 yesterday, but I'll go a while before I do more.
Four,
Mil de gracias amigos de Ticolandia. Nuestro alrededor es muy hermoso.
Lin,
Like love, it must be nurtured and tended. Gentle affection can yield a tender response.
Oh, that's good. And in Spanish??! Wow. I never get my inspirations in a foreign language.
Que poetico son tus palabras lindas (y las fotos tambien). 🙂
Love the haiku. I used to try to write one a day as a sort of diary memory guide. Stopped 2 months ago because of so much to do for a house move. You have reminded me to get back to it.
great Scott, a bilingual poet. Well, I knew you were bilingual, so what I mean is, a writer of poetry in two languages. outstanding.
Happy days to you during this August week.
