The Journey
Find yourself where I caress the Earth
A seven-colour promise
painting rain-washed air.
Prism guide us: life is gold.

Lead me to the land of the long white cloud
Crux, the sky canoe. Anchor our place on the map, I know I am home. ------------------------- Author's notes: Aotearoa is the official name of New Zealand in Māori, the native language. In English it translates to mean 'The land of the long, white cloud.'

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Hi Jo - I've been down for a few months - forgot to get my vaccination for 'Old Age' but I've always enjoyed your 'ecletic' unique stories; especially this one re; I disagree with most of my own "Thinking." A Favor: I know that you are a super follower of our Rachel; I see your thoughtful comments all the time. Please leave a comment on her 'Ode to Rachel Deeming' Post. The year-long writings are so impressive. I know she would appreciate the gesture from you. Thank you, - Jk.in.l.a
I was stunned by the first line! So good! And then the next two lines extended the imagery so masterfully! Excellent haiku, Joe!
Oh wow, this was absolutely beautiful!
Lovey one.

Beautiful!
Wow! Your thoughts are beautiful. Wonderful ❤
