Haiku Friday: 60 Years

Here's something to celebrate, even amidst hard times: Yesterday was my parents' 60th wedding anniversary! That's kind of remarkable, and wonderful. Talk about interesting people-- I'm very lucky to have them in my life, much less to have them as my folks. They still live in the house I grew up in, and are doing good and important things (at least, as much as one can during a pandemic). I often link to my dad's writing, but in truth it is the work of both of them; nothing makes it to the page until my mom has given it the once-over. So, yes, I grew up with a free-lance editor right there in-house.

What could be better than that to haiku about this week? If you know them, you probably have some thoughts- feel free to direct a poem at them. If not, feel free to freestyle on the theme. There is a lot you can do with this one!

Here, I will go first:

A thousand true gifts

And some I don’t realize

Good souls and great, both.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!
