Welcome to Litsy!

drizzly day downtown,
inhaling the rain-damp air;
she walks, clears her head.

My friends adopted these guys in March from a rescue near me. 😻

Brothers will sometimes
Fight and sometimes they will sit
Calmly together

There's a little Pippa tail in the background. 🐾

Broccoli and cheese soup.
Perfect for an autumn day.
Even in Phoenix.

A hopefully helpful dash cheat sheet.

Em dash for pauses--
Hyphen between com-pound words.
En dash for num-bers.

Who knew? 😂

allons à la librairie,
se perdre dans un bon livre —
nourriture pour ton âme.

let‘s go to the bookstore,
get lost in a good book —
food for your soul. ?

My friends have four cats, and you‘re going to get a #haikuaday about all of them!

They‘ve had the two sisters with black and white markings for a few years now. The girls aren‘t as bold as their younger “brothers,” but they‘re used to my presence now. Until you‘re close to them, it can be hard to tell them apart. All the cats love this window.

Bonney has a cute
Mustache and pretty green eyes
Nellie is her sis

A make up haiku inspired by my breakfast yesterday. I stopped by a local market & it was raining & I was craving turnip cakes so I ducked into the nearby dim sum restaurant & just ordered what I wanted, knowing I‘d have plenty to enjoy later. Consumed leisurely with a current read.

Dim Sum for One 🥟💙🥟

Dim sum for myself
Too much for one sitting means
Leftovers to love

P.S. This is my second dim sum haiku! 😉😋

Today‘s haiku (I still have a couple to catch up on) is inspired by the bird I was listening to this morning on the Merlin app. One of my favorites. I didn‘t get a picture this morning, so this one‘s from online.

Backyard Dandy

Red-whiskered Bulbul
Such a dapper little guy
Mohawk with a blush

who cares what they think?
the only one you have to
impress is yourself.

Today‘s haiku is inspired by restless nights & the anxiety that creeps its way in.

Night Monsters

Night whispers of doubt
Racing thoughts and pounding heart
Sleep drifts far away
