Haiku Friday: Family
I was sorting through and scanning in some old family photos last night. It's quite a trip back in time to do so-- every picture was a link to something far away but really familiar.
But some, of course, are from a time before our own. The picture above is of my Great-Grandfather (recognize that hair?) holding my Dad. I suspect my Grandfather took the picture, as it is his style. I never met my Great-Grandfather, but he was a remarkable man, an engineer for Westinghouse who electrified entire provinces and played a role in the creation of radio. I love the mood of this one.
So, let's haiku about our ancestors today, near or far. Here is mine:
He walks on a dune
Carrying that small boy, John,
Summer's too soon done.
Now it is your turn...

My grandfather a
Boy, posed with the men
All holding instruments, drums,
Black suits, white shirts all
Italian immigrants
A few years off the boat, still
Full of hope and proud.

All my life, my friends
became my family. I
still prefer this way.
Family you get
can be great, but one you make?
Just the best EVER.
I have great people
in my life, family or
not. I'm truly blessed.
I don't post here often enough,
and often I don't know what the hell you are all talking about, so maybe it is BETTER not to - but I LOVE the RAZOR and everyone here.
