Traveler’s Haiku – Baker

“Baker”

History, fiction

collide on neat Baker Street,

a quaint deduction.

Wedding celebrations commenced yesterday, and my mini grad school reunion was a great time. Now, the wife and I are staying in west London. Can anyone guess which well-known residence we visited today?

Traveler’s Haiku – Enfield

“Enfield”

Paving stone sidewalks

lead to an unknown town, but

still familiar.

Guess who’s in England! We arrived yesterday afternoon to attend my friend’s wedding tomorrow.  This will be a reunion of several of my grad school friends, so it’s only fitting that the smaller town we’re staying in reminds me of Exeter.

Moonlit Musing – Infidelity

With a single lie.
A truth more complicated

Powerful beyond measure,
Rest assured, it’s more
A fear than a present. Continue reading “4.27.18 – Kansas”

Traveler’s Haiku – BBQ

“BBQ”

Spicy barbecue

to help the plains of Kansas

roll by until dark.

Apologies for the late post. Jessie and I are currently in Central Kansas, trying to knock out the longest leg of this trip in one shot. Did I mention that we’re moving Jessie from Denver to Baltimore this weekend? Next stop: St. Louis!
