Twinkle of Appreciation
claiming first
kiss
neath mistletoe
______________________________________________
Today was a balmy day in the midst of winter. Ray and I strolled about our yard observing the spring cleaning ahead of us. I noticed a cluster of green leaves growing on one of our deciduous ash trees. Ray immediately tugged me in the tree’s direction. A question suddenly sprung forth in my mind – “Could this be mistletoe?” Laughing, Ray bent forward to deliver a kiss. I exclaimed, “This is my first kiss under mistletoe”. We walked back to the house hand in hand, ready to enjoy our afternoon mug of coffee.

Great post ! Mistletoe in your own yard…a year full of secret kisses. How wonderful.!
Love the blog title and thanks for the Pi`-Ku explanation
BTW a PS….was with Laurie…first glance Twinkies … but what ever it takes to get someone’s attention! We’d just had a Twinkies party at portrait group for a lady that immigrated from China…she’d never heard of Twinkies….I blame that. Hope you don’t take offense, but decide to collect Twinkie Twinkles !
Peace and love,
Siggi in Downeast Maine

Good for you and Ray! You go, girl! Your almost-haiku here (only 16 syllables with title, or did I miscount? sorry) implies so much about youth being wasted on the young, right?

I wrote this in the form of Pi-Ku … which in the short version is 3-1-4 syllables … in the longer version it is 3-1-4-1-5-9-2-6-5-3! I am going to try utilize Pi-Ku for each of the “Twinkles of Appreciation”!
