Haibun for Linda
Robert Southwick Richmond said:

Haibun is a new one on me. Invented by haiku pioneer Matsuo Bashō, it combines verse (haiku) and prose. Here Jerry follows a prose text with a 5-7-5 syllable verse. I also learned \"prosimetric\" as a generic for texts alternating verse and prose. Aucassin et Nicolette comes to mind in the western traditions.

Normal Of Heart
L. B. Mek said:

indeed, that \'normality\' is getting more and more harder to identify with,
some of the absurdities we have witnessed this COVID months defies belief,
I can\'t fathom a \'Fictional Plot\', where its characters are so self-indulgently obscene, they would act-out some of these despicable acts of callous inhumanity we are becoming so \'used-to\'
and those deplorable \'news tannoy\'s\', profiting of other\'s miseries with such blatant glee...
so depressing to contemplate,
yet still: we Must endure, if only when we think of how many have sacrificed their lives for us to be able to waste our\'s so brazenly...
this write cut too fcken close to that raw nerve \'we pretend\' isn\'t stretching-out our tethered grasp of sanity,
for me to slalom past (it) as a mere delectable read Jerry,
far, far too close
thanks for sharing!

Happy New Year
L. B. Mek said:

so true, those \'freshly pulled\' beers at our local \'public houses\' taste so much better than a \'can of beer at home\' for some reason, lol
liked the hopeful tint to your words Jerry, a good read

we have our version too Jerry and to think he got his foothold as a mayor in my city, is so unbearably frustrating...
at least your guys is gone now, back to his bankruptcy \'bounce-back\'s\' I guess...
erm so on that cheery note:
Happy New Year! 🍻

there is a name for that guy, but if I used it here, Fido would have a fit and I would most probably be banned for life but with a price on my head ........
