Tanka Poem on Chasing Happiness

under the feeder
flurry of activity
squirrels chasing their tails
one catches his, one does not
happiness, the tail we chase

  1. Michele,

    Thanks so much. I would enjoy meeting up with Mark and you when you guys get some
    time. I’ve been busy too so I know.

    Do you photography? If so: http://www.flickr.com/photos/don-iannone/ (Several sets
    from NE Ohio.)

    Photography has sparked a new love affair for me with Greater Cleveland. We have
    so much and just miss it. i know I do!

    Namaste!

    Don

    You said….

    I love this one Don.
    I often feel like I am chasing my tail!
    Mark says he is going to get in touch with you soon.
    He has been really busy with the magazine lately.
    Hope you are having a great day and hope to meet you in person sometime…..I still
    plan on writing you a little about Omega….I am just slow to respond.
    Namaste,
    Michele
