My penultimate haiku for this year! I can't believe how quickly time flies.
This haiku would make the most sense if you watched Seinfeld. Just thinking about this makes me chuckle. For an added element of randomness, I added the pandas.
I'm not a Grinch. I love the holidays but this was too good to pass up.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate.

My last haiku for the year!  This is based off a picture I took when I visited Astoria, OR last year.

This year has been full of transitions but this project provided a much needed outlet.

Thank you for your support during the last 52 weeks.  I've got a few projects in mind for next year so stay tuned!

Writing Prompt #5 Between hello and goodbye

“Why, hello there!” I said as a 2 month old beagle puppy ran over and started sniffing at me. I looked at the owner, and asked if it was ok to pet his dog.

“Sure, her name is Poppet.”

This pup was one of those who, when she shook her tail from excitement, there was a ripple effect through her whole body.

As soon as my knee touched the sand, she climbed on me trying to lick my face.

I rubbed her behind her big floppy ears and she gently tried to nip at my hands.

“Who’s a good girl?” I cooed at her, as I continued to play with her and rub her head.

I love these dogs. They are young and everything is exciting and new. The world is for their exploring and they are just so darn HAPPY!

After a few more ear scratches, I patted her back.

“Thanks!” I said to her owner.

“Goodbye Poppet!” I said with a final pat on the head.
