My haiku is featured today at Pure Haiku, where Freya’s current theme is Emergence
after long nights’ sleep
bear wakes in darkness of den
hungry for daylight

Congratulations, Ken! I think many of us are hungry for that daylight.
I like your haiku biography. 🙂

It’s March 7 – Townes Van Zandt’s birthday. He’d be 75 if still alive. Each year on this date, I attend a gathering of musicians who one by one sing one of Townes’s songs and/or their own song written as tribute to Townes. So … feels a bit like a year of slumbering in the dark, then tonight we fans awake to the light of Townes (tho unlike the bear, our awake will be brief).

That should be nice. I’ll be seeing Gary Clark Jr., in a week.

Live music – could there ever be too much of it?

With snow on the horizon (yes again) I’m wondering daylight will ever be warm again.
I feel like a bear having to dress in layers.

I do think we are all a bit like that bear these days. The phrase “hungry for light” sums it up.
And glad to have found the support of the WordPress community as well! (K)
