The good word
Good haiku last week, on a confusing subject!
Silly American gave us the video above to go with her poem (and I LOVE the totally-unremarked-upon appearance by Smokey the Bear at the end), and Jill Scoggins gave us this:
At a certain age,
you just have to accept your
life’s messy baggage.
Living a real life
means making mistakes. Make your
amends and move on.
Neither wallow in
nor ignore them. Give proper
thought to learn from them.
We are more good than
Bad, more smart than ignorant,
too hard on ourselves.
I know that it is true, too-- I have the mistakes to prove.
And CTL's, too, had the same kind of wisdom, really:
Ringed with rage, fury.
We teapots in a tempest.
One lump or two, sir?

Beautiful poems, Jill and CTL.
A family member who works for the Forest Service in Durango, CO sent me the bear cub video. They live close to the 416 fire. That's their office's Smokey the Bear costume!
