Poetry Friday: A Week of #Gratiku

11/6/2020

6 Comments

 
On Sunday, I opened a new journal.  My previous 2020 journal, March 1-October 31 was completed.

This year I am using my journal to write gratitude haiku: #gratiku. What a week to start a new journal!

November 1
blue moon sets
November arrives
new notebook

November 2
I voted
for democracy
fingers crossed

November 3
geese chorus
November grey days
yes to change

November 4
while sleeping
democracy at work
counting votes

food, drink, class
welcomed distractions
smashing nerves

November 5
dog snuggles
a rainy day
relieves tree

November 6
the tide shifts
overnight, peace dreams
hope sunrise

A gorgeous daily journey of Gratiku and an artifact of this week, indeed. Somehow those animals - chorusing geese, snuggling dog - impart such peace. Maybe in their familiar reliability...

The PERFECT week to start a new journal. We are turning pages (and corners) as we move toward a more democratic future.

Jone, your thoughts surface as a call to action revealed. In response to your #gratiku journaling, I write:
voting for change
community, unity-
blue wave surfaces

Congrats on finishing a journal and starting another! I petered out with my gratitude journal sometime in October. I just couldn't keep going, although I have reasons to be grateful. Now I'm grateful to not be doing it, ha ha. I like "hope sunrise."
