as cold as the grave

a cold walk to my swim today

Swim time ~ probably as cold as it looks 7.9C

writing haiku in the waiting room

the empty chairs waiting for me to say something but i dare not

all enveloping silence of a hospital waiting area in the early hours

17:45 as good a time as any for a DEXA scan no for me but for my wife ~ i’m just passing the waiting time by writing haiku & senryu

it doesn’t always follow that they will follow your follow if you follow me

twelfth night the last of the mince pies and i scream oyoguhito #senryu haikueye.blogspot.com

one cell at a time the buds of spring are growing - snowdrops oyoguhito #haiku haikueye.blogspot.com

fingers crossed

Today’s swim at Rotherslade

frozen bollards

ooops slipped

Not the madness found in kings -- raving in storms amidst the heather; his madness shows in little things, like bathing in this icy weather.

Swim time

Walking for my daily sea swim ~ shorts and all ~ no hat or gloves 😬

i come from a long line that was going nowhere i seem to have arrived

one cell at a time the buds of spring are growing - snowdrift

W. S. Merwin, from what many consider his finest book: The Lice

🍵NEW YEAR, NEW SWEETS😋 The New Year in Japan starts with a wave of 'firsts': hatsumōde (初詣 'first shrine visit'), hatsuyume (初夢 'first dream'), and hatsugama (初釜 'first tea ceremony') to name a few. There is one sweet in particular we begin the year with in the tearoom...hanabiramochi.

After an insane semester during which I certainly did NOT attempt to reinvent education for the Age of AI (sarcasm), I’ve so loved more time for art. In the #NewYear, I resolve to remember I have an art practice 🙄 ~ #JanuArty #tree #eastcoastkin #blueskyartshow #painting #watercolor #traditionalart

I love the multiple meanings and slight indeterminance of this haiku!

"Vaccination against still another dangerous respiratory disease, Covid-19, has been linked to lower risk of developing long Covid, with its damaging effects on physical & mental health." "researchers are investigating the effects ... of Covid vaccination on cancer survival."

unrequited with the setting of the moon her love left and the coldest of nails had pierced my heart oyoguhito #tanka haikueye.blogspot.com

a cold river returns nothing but cold fish oyoguhito #haiku haikueye.blogspot.com
