Getting Set

Posted on by curioussteph

I.

Oilcloth for picnics

linen and lace for parties

everyday and fancy

II.

red checkered cloths

stained with life, gravy and wine

many tales told here

III.

fine embroidery

illuminates a cloth

years in the making.

A series of haiku/senryu written for today’s Ragtag Daily Prompt of Tablecloth

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
