Haiku Friday! (A day early)

I'm going out of town for a few days and don't know if I'll be able to blog on vacation, so here's my Friday Haiku a day early.



on a vacation
blissful days of no housework
time for fun and play

sand in between toes
crashing surf and crying gulls
building sandcastles

laughing children run
sand dollar treasure hunting
napping in the sun

real mexican food
orange grease running on the plate
hand made tortillas

humid and sticky
air so thick you can see it
my own warm blanket

can't wait to get there
trilling tongues Spanish voices
my own motherland

ten days spent away
back to winter cold, windy
dreaming of the sun
