I write about my private and literary life. I compose haiku and this year have started writing tanka. My first love and joy is still haiku. I never leave the house without my pencil in my topnot. I am grateful to Serge Tome for being the first editor to publish me and for his encouragement since 2000, when i first started writing haiku. The wonderful island on which i live gives me daily inspiration. I am truly happy and blessed to be living here. " Wie Gott in Frankreich."

CARNIVAL TIME
It is Carnival time and today is the last day. Shrove Tuesday is always fun...all those big, fat pancakes with maple syrup here in Canada. Here on the island not much is realy going on. I will make pancakes for myself, Mischi and Bling. I have a mask i made last year.
I heard that a man in Rio fell under a foat and died. All that crowing adn drinking, well the poor man had fun until the last moment of his life. My prayers go out to his family and friends. "Moderation in all things" is not in affect during Carnival.
My Nordic Uncle went to Carnival in Southern Germany, when he was young and did not return until the Summer.
Shrove Tuesday
pancake after pancake
scent of maple syrup
Carnival floats
song, dance and beads
rainbow on her neck
Behind her mask
her brown eyes blue
Carnival magic
Grey sea and sky
rain on the cedars
on the intenet
Carnival in Rio
colour, music and Samba
