November Calendar Page

Here's the current page of the 2014 calendar my husband and I did for our family. (Click on image to see enlarged view.)

 

 

thoughts of home

the air sharp

with sea salt

 

I didn't think I'd get a calendar done this year, but even with all that's gone on these last several months the itch to create one was still strong. So glad I did it, and my family members that have already seen it are loving it. I hope you've been inspired to create some of your own Christmas presents this year, in whatever form that takes. Maybe even pop a haiku in a card, or two. Enjoy! :-)





Under the Waves: A Rengay with Cara Holamn

 

Under the Waves

by Cara Holman & Kirsten Cliff

searching for

an unbroken sand dollar

low-tide beach

kids dolphin dive

under the waves

message in a bottle

the wind steals

my words away

spaghetti western

the bandit rides out

toward the sunset 

 

playing pirates

we divvy up the loot

forgotten castle

the first touch

of this foreign sea

This fun rengay was written for Aubrie Cox's latest Yay Words! Project "Sea Bandits". You can download your own copy of this great new collection of haiku, tanka, haibun, haiga and other short form poetry here. My thanks to Aubrie for the inspiration, and to Cara for exploring the themes with me via rengay. Enjoy! :)

the air sharp
