She curtsies, he bows
framed hand painted curios

Proper etiquette

I used to pretend
faces shadowed from the light
Future groom of mine

Carriage awaiting

umbras assigned to players
Unidentified

Casting an eclipse
in silhouettes on the wall
Fitting fantasy

You incorporated "umbras" into your work quite deliciously!

You've cleverly told a little tale about yourself in these few haiku. Well done!

What fun to read about the silhouettes and coming from Tacoma!! Much more into these than others we see more often. The two you chose for the blog and the haiku to go along with are perfect. Thought provoking haiku. Thank you. Nanc

History of blog 2009 - presentan

Adwellingbythesea

FROM THE WRITER OF DOWN THE EYRIE ROAD
Originally, when I began this blog, I was 64 and opened

with the following lyrics from the Beatles' song:

When I get older losing my hair,

Many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three,

would you lock the door,

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four.

************************

Now 67, I hope to blog till I am 74 or 104.

Thank you followers & friends

for visiting ~ by Kathy Reed (kkkkaty)

Checking in; it is July 2016 and life goes on.

**************************

Here it is 2018. This March I turn 71. It's time to revamp, weed out the worst and make a book of sorts containing the best of the blog. It consists of prose poetry and short stories; they are pieces of me that I have been able to share, with pleasure, with you...considering how energy often was channeled elsewhere, the blog has an average of 300 visitors monthly from around the world. Thank you for stopping by.
