Remembering a Friend

 

Dot and Jay

My friend, Dorothy Porter, died on December 10, 2008, far too soon, and with much poetry left to write.  Here’s a small Veranda Life Verandaku tribute to say hello Dot and thanks for all the fish.  We suspect that you’re enjoying your new life in the other dimension(s) rather spectacularly.  So go you good thing and thank the Goddess you’re not here for the Ashes this time around. 

 

A flying balloon

red against a blue sky dawn

reminds me of you.

Arms and legs pumping fresh blood

Hearts in extra time

999 Verandakus: #127 from Veranda Life and Summer

 

Hello and welcome to Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.  Veranda Life is celebrating summer with a month of images from the beach and its environs to accompany our usual array of Verandakus.  We hope you enjoy both the visual and the textual – they’re Veranda Life’s holiday season gift to you.  And there’s a bonus ku today on December 1, just for the love of the moment.
