sweetened with love (haibun-Haiga festival)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haibun, haiga, Haiku, Tournesol dans un jardin 1 Minute

Since I received a belated birthday bouquet of roses today, it is only common sense to write about that. After all, we are far from seeing any budding blossoms here and these are my first flowers of 2015.  The fragrance of roses is that much sweeter when given with love from a child…another special day.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

    1. I’m noticing as Mu family goes through the stages of grief these last few months how anger is a powerful emotion some stay stuck in I wonder if there is relation in people who feel they have lost so much. I cannot see how war is a rational decision and sadder still are innocent bystanders stuck in the middle literally dodging bullets.
