long dark cold winter
exquisite pure white prayer
rising like the sun
you are all such a bright warm welcome
to this won't let go winter.
mexico warmed me completely, easily throwing her comforting whims
like a silk robozo around my heart.
papel picados fanned the sun licked air while
orchids opened exotic faces to nod in lazy approval
as mariachis
threaded long nights into exhilarating days.
haiku my heart
you are so sweet to return too!
special thanks to magical mystical teacher for the call out to
haiku in my absence.

Welcome home.
MMT was indeed a champ in your absence.
I seem to have double clicked when once would have been enough, and hence entered my poetic masterpiece on a serial basis. you might like to delete the superfluous second link. Thanks.... and sorry to have been such a klutz.
You have lovely haikus by the way, and a turn of phrase that would bring the birds down out of the trees.
Good luck!

I am envious that you have been warmed to the core by your sweet Mexico time. But the love flowing around here does much to warm my wintering heart too !
Welcome home, Beautiful Flyer.
Big love to you !

Will be back later to check on all the offerings - we're in for a blizzard and I need to get some fresh veges/fruits before that happens.
Glad to see you back, Rebecca!

a warm welcome home, rebecca. yesterday i linked to haiku my heart on my blog but forgot to add my name here :) i look forward to having time after this busy weekend to catch up with all my friends here. hugs to you.

Welcome home! I could use a
Iittle of that warmth you soaked up, it is cold here!
Which reminds me of a book i had as a child where the mouse spent the summer soaking up the colors of nature while his friends worked. They were mad at him until the middle of winter when he shared his colors with them in stories to warm them! I think it was by eric carle but i can't remember. I hope you will share your stories as he did.
