ReplyDeletevery nice, Jim.. lovely haiku..
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
ReplyDeletegreat senryu!
They got it right, Theodora, Stacey, inkwell whispers, the odd inkwell.... we are all one in the same. ;)
The odd inkwell and Theodora are for my cooler, edgier poet fans.
Learning haiku now, that is cool. Like your writing, thanks for your advice. Wish you have a wonderful holiday.
ReplyDeleteAre you asking for a ghosty visit?
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the fancy jewelry, Jim. Is this the prelude to a seance?
ReplyDeletehonest thought!
ReplyDeleteJim, it makes one wonder who has the better riches ...the one who passes on or the one who remains with worldly goods...enjoyed the thoughts you sent my way:)
ReplyDeleteAh, but would you rather have no treasures, and the aunt still alive?
ReplyDeleteLove the last line - very pensive indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou have me thinking about how our things outlast us on this earth; I suppose their greatest value is as reminders of love.
ReplyDeleteThe memory is the real treasure.
ReplyDeleteU r honest here Jim.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed Haiku.
Enjoy your travel & holidays.
Yes, with such lovely wealth.. one is tempted to pray..and does discover the lost ones.. Beautiful.. I will call it Haiku.. we are talking of nature.. human nature..
ReplyDeleteVisit me for my 100th.. blessings awaited..
I love this photo Jim, nice work!
ReplyDeletePensive and wishful, too! Clever, as well...

Very clever how you left the inheritance ambiguous. What jewels does that chest hold?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful vacation!
