Luck

Castoff piece of dinnerware, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Kobayashi Issa’s haiku about a plum tree at the gate, along with a piece of broken plate to illustrate the scene, inspires me to write a new haiku:

the family’s good fortune
in bloom…
plum tree at the gate

~~ ~~ ~~

plum tree at the gate—
waiting for the first blossom
to bring us good luck

That’s an interesting piece of Fund; it was determined by a beautiful plate!
Sometimes I find those shards in my garden;)

Best, Marie

When whole, it was a beauty; however, even broken, we see its worth. Thanks for making Blue Monday special.

Happy Blue Monday!
