Yes Brian. I begin to appreciate the calm and sane existence. Rudy and I took our five girls and my Mum and sister to see Rise of the Guardians - for the midnight show - it was such a busy day. Saw my newborn nephew...The girls - all of them enjoyed the movie and so did we.
I was thinking of your students, how we so easily lose everything suddenly. My elder girls were doing the 'Cup Song' after dinner befor ethe movie, we were laughing...such mundane everyday stuff - a family dinner - that seemed so precious.
I don't remember my words being described as cool before. That's neat. Thank you for dropping by. I loved your blog too, and while new at haiku - do agree that it is a beautiful format. I love our traditional pantun - but it is difficult to come up with good ones - the format ifs not that easy.
When it brightens up, it becomes more meaningful and we tend to appreciate it more :) I love December because the kids are at home enjoying their holiday. Beautiful haiku, Ninot!
Touching!!! Well written...

ReplyDeleteDecember can be quite a risky month then. Nicely!

Decembers, Sir Hank, can mean endings or new beginnings...
DeletePerhaps it will rise again as new year approaches! hoping for a love-ly times ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks that way, DreamGirl...
DeleteMay the storms recede and love fill the heart in the New Year then, Ninot. It'll be something to look for in the year as well.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to that lovely thought, Leo. Thanks!
DeleteHeart storms seem to produce the wildest rages!

Take care Brian.
Let's rush through December then, much maligned month of Darkness.
ReplyDeleteI love December actually - time to take stock and mentally set sights for the upcoming year!
DeleteI like the highs and lows there... Haiku is such a beautiful way to show a lot in just 17 syllables and you, Nino, have done cool job here.

Delete"Love dims slowly." Poignant haiku, Ninot.......and lovely, as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry...Love should be memorable, poignant with a tinge of nostalgia.
DeleteEven today, I miss my early romancing days with Rudy!
Storms of the heart are relentless storms! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteStorms of the heart - whether here, in Australia, or on the moon, are relentless! Thanks Gemma!
DeleteI echo all the above comments! (which I actually read)
ReplyDeleteThank you Judit - great to see you here!
DeleteRaging heart! very nice take on prompt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meenakshi. I was thinking of Storms in a teacup when this idea came up.
DeleteStorms of the heart are extra dangerous in December ;-)
ReplyDeleteYup! It can go either way! Thank you for dropping by...
DeleteI like your take on this prompt
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny. I love December - as the year slowly comes to its end, I find more time to write.
DeleteQuite a storm of words, too. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anthony. I like to think of haiku like precious offerings in a teacup - in this case, a storm in a teacup!
DeleteWhen it brightens up, it becomes more meaningful and we tend to appreciate it more :)
ReplyDeleteI love December because the kids are at home enjoying their holiday.
Beautiful haiku, Ninot!
I love December too and always look forward to more time with the family.
DeleteCuddling up in the aftermath of a thunder and lightning is always great!
