#HaikuADay #HaikuHive
When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:
Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.
pickI very much enjoyed this historical fiction that takes place during WWI in Oxford. Peggy and her twin Maude live on a houseboat and work in a bookbinders. It‘s from Peggy‘s point of view, and with her we learn about how books were made at the time (are they still? I imagine the process has changed a lot), volunteer in a makeshift hospital for war victims, and attempt to win a college scholarship in a time poor women didn‘t get to go often. ⬇️
“These Olive Trees is far more than a picturebook about a refugee experience. It provides a distinct look into the resilience and culture of the Palestinian people.“ See the full review of this picturebook here: https://wowlit.org/on-line-publications/review/xvii-1/8/
