I am placing the haiku in the two books and leaving them

at different airports. You can go to the Bookcrossing site,

and if anyone journals the books or verse - you might be

able to see where they travel - you just have to put in the

BCID number. I know you can post a journal entry without

being a member, though you can join for free.

11.12 ...restitution...

chill of sadness

waking up disoriented

child’s cry trills

gone the warmth

of the day - cold, wet

tears freeze

frown stays down

too long - demanding

restitution

The fury of four

years fumes,  unfair!

wants equalling needs

child’s cry trills

daylight gone, winter wakes

chill of sadness

restitution noun: 3. restoration to the former or original state or position.

CD GW-33-Richard Wright

For this Ghost-Writer episode we’re going to revisit Richard Wright (1908-1960). Chèvrefeuille featured his haiku several weeks ago in an episode of “Little Creatures”. (You can re-read his post here.)

The moss might not be totally symbiotic as it only needs the tree to grow on. The moss takes nothing from and does not harm the host.

11.10 ...frosted...    a haibun

I walk to the end of the drive, inhaling cold air. No holes in my shoes, in a

warm coat this winter. Frosted by the daily news - I look for something good

to read with my breakfast. Thankful for the glass between myself and the

season.
