After much correspondence, I was fortunate to spend a glorious time with her in Portland, ME before she moved to Portland, OR. She wrote about our visit in 2009 here  https://www.timegoesby.net/weblog/2009/02/the-curious-dynamics-of-blog-friendship.html   She will be missed.  

sherku: renewal

Renew yourself
listen to the
flower and you
Will not hear
his latest lie 

 

sherku: autumn dance

Brown autumn
Leaf dances 
Across the
Blacktop early
This morning
As I walk

sherku: virus

leaves rustle
in the breeze
what do the trees
know of the virus
raging down here

sherku: steps

The future 

maybe cloudy 

But steps to 

make it happen 

are one at a time!

Spruce Pond, Franklin, MA

sherku: life lesson

Walking barefoot 

In the kitchen

Feeling things

Underfoot

Time to clean the floor

 

 

for my love, on our annivarsary

sherku: diet triptych

1

My kind of diet

Oven fresh

Crusty baked bread

Full of soft holes

With honey

2

Better than

A see food

Diet where

It's all you can

See you eat

Yum, yum, yum

3

Still better yet

Make breakfast

Like a king

Lunch like a prince

Sup like a pauper

sherku: fear knot

I wake fearful

take a breath

realize

it is a

new day, we

can do this!

for my wife, DS

sherku: calculate

If we knew
How much rain
A leaf could
Hold before
It tips to
Let it all go

sherku: one wet

My sweat drips
Road steam rises
Trees shimmer
With weight of
The summer
Rain makes one

sherku: memory cafe

While dancing
stopped to take
his pills and glass
Of milk, then
Continued
Right in time

sherku: summer shower

Refreshing
Getting caught
In this way
Rain shower
Walking on a
Summer day

sherku: pandemic triptych

Pandemic 1

Social distance 

Closes places 

Yet helping hands 

Blossom open 

for neighbors

Pandemic 2

Social distance 

Closes places 

Family time 

Together 

Virtually

Pandemic 3

Twenty three 

Years a table 

Family full 

Til hamstrung this 

Time by virus

sherku: meaning

Lyra finds that
"Everything
has a meaning,
if only
we could read it"


A 'foundku', that is a sherku mostly found in other writing. This from @PhilipPullman "Lyra's Oxford"  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZJQL4/
