Wine and Kissing

Queridos,

Tonight, it is a just a sliver of an ascending moon, in the spring to be known as a Kissing Moon. A sneak peek at the fullness that is coming.  It is a perfect moon on which to contemplate the coming new year. May it be a year of wholehearted living and loving.

Besos,

Elisabet

Tonight’s Moon, Tomorrow’s Hangover (three haikus)
by Matsuo Basho (1644 – 1694)

A man that eats
his meal amidst morning glories –
that’s what I am!

On a blue sea,
waves fragrant with rice wine:
tonight’s moon

A hangover
but while the cherries bloom,
what of it?
