prompt (howling / echoes / footprint)

.
remembering
your kindness
when leaving Maine
for Arizona in the winter
so far from home
.
at midnight
of the full moon
I’ll howl
knowing you
are doing the same
,
~ echoes
each full moon
now that you are gone
your having left footprints
on my soul and heart
.

THE PROMPTS:
keen -/- Operating Room Nurse Day:

Another occupation we should salute

.

Keen: having or showing an ability to think clearly

and to understand what is not obvious or simple about

something

: very strong and sensitive : highly developed

: very excited about and interested in something

.

====================================

Gary Blankenship

.

November is “K” or perhaps “k” and “kn.”

We have some of each for your haiku enjoyment.

This month, each word is tied to a holiday – real or made up –

Thanksgiving or “Sinkie.”

.

Sometimes, the connection is obvious –

kneel for All Saints Day; and often not –

well, you will see.

Your haiku might explore the word, a variation of it,

the holiday,

.

or if you are really ambitious marry word and holiday in the same poem.

Enjoy and celebrate the imagination of wordsmiths and poets.

.

(Thanks to Sigrid Saradunn for her help compiling the list.)
