She struggles to be on time at work but for dinners, parties, outings, she is usually late. She prefers to say, fashionably late. Being a night person and working late shifts, means late morning rise, working into the night.

nightly reflections
slow-dancing with her muse
kissing dawn goodnight

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. The short intro worked well in this haibun, and the haiku was rather sumptuous, I must say. A warm, tactile haiku, each line knitting together but working cleverly and sensually on its own as well.

      1. Well, that was such a smooth, tactile haiku, but a bit more, you played with emotions very well, giving it a little twist, very hard to do, endearing, and very successful

      3. True … at least in some fields. I’ve found it’s better if not completely opposites though .. I think this is about the first really big difference I’ve ever discovered between us.

      4. I might be able to get used to waking up at dawn and going to bed before 10, that way I see dawn and sunsets and stars! but when I stop working…until then, c’est la vie!..ou ma vie 😉

      5. Ah … then not really a choice if you have to work nights now is it 😀 Anyway my personal sleeping habits also became a habit from my working days when I used to wake up to at 5:30 to catch a 7:00 train and didn’t get back home in the evenings until 6:00.

      6. I miss my day shift 8 to 4 when I took the bus at 6:30. I would walk for 2 to 3 hours several times a week right after work…boy was I in good shape then for a 50 yr old 😉

      7. There are some real disadvantages to working night shifts .. first of all it totally upsets your whole night day relationship … and it’s pretty hard to go out for a two hour walk at night.

      14. We’d stop at the “depanneur” (convenience store) to get a chocolate bar which we felt we deserved since we were walking it off 😉
