Good afternoon. Thanks to Jerome for including one of my haiku in the latest heterodox haiku journal – Cutting Letters you can read the entire anthology or listen to it at the link.
Mother’s Day here was pretty quiet. Shawn grilled a tri-tip and my mother-in-law brought over some lobster tails and we had broccoli and corn to complete the meal. I wrote a haiku for the #haikuchallenge word back on Friday, for my mother, the word was jay and my mom would tell me how blue jays were the bullies of the bird feeder, chasing the other birds away when they were there.

bird feeder set out each spring
blue jay eats alone
I remember when I was a little girl, catching fireflies during warm summer nights. Apparently I have to go to teach someone how to write a good cover letter now.
