Happy Birthday, Alex!

a haiku birthday
for the love of my long life.
here's to you honey.

eight years ago to-
day- that's when the deal was sealed. 
I showed up that day

with a Jamba Juice
pumpkin smash for your birthday. 
then it was for real.

don't let this girl go.
she brings goodness into your life.
good food makes good love.

now, eight years later
I don't have pumpkin smashes.
but six cakes instead.

hope it is enough. 
maybe next year we will find
a pumpkin smash. yum.


so, comments are great
especially in the form of
haikus. please. thank you.

  5. From my father-in-law:

    penetrates the bones
    turns the breath to soaring fog
    goodbye dear garden

    fog on wet cat’s feet
    rain dancing in between cold
    winter steals the green

    Thanksgiving turkey
    Christmas gifts carols and candy
    New Years Eve awaits
