It seems the universe is seeking to distract me from my obsessive quest for heart-shaped rocks and my propensity to gaze downward wherever I go. Now the trees are wooing me too! I am feeling the Love this morning…hope you are too.❤️

When Mourning Comes
Some storms can linger on for days
engulfing me in shrouded gray
wretched words heavy on my tongue
the nights are long when mourning comes.
It’s akin to lunacy
the hours crawl, I can’t break free
my life by darkness overcome
the night is long when mourning comes.
No amount of positive spin,
can quell this tempest deep within
my soul is longing for the sun
The night is long when mourning comes.
Eventually the light breaks through
beyond the clouds midst shades of blue
there to remind me where I’m from
the night is long…then morning comes!

Alliaceous – Friday’s Word of the Day Haiku
Today’s word of the day from Dictionary.com stems from the Latin “allium” meaning “garlic”. An adjective, alliaceous is a botanical term that can be used to describe plants of the allium genus or the pungent aroma wafting from things alliaceous. An expanded definition from Collins English Dictionary states:
- of or relating to Allium, a genus of plants that have a strong onion or garlic smell and often have bulbs: family Alliaceae. The genus occurs in the N hemisphere and includes onion, garlic, leek, chive, and shallot
- tasting or smelling like garlic or onions
- of, relating to, or belonging to the Alliaceae, a family of flowering plants that includes the genus Allium
Delicious garlic infused pasta is a tempting aromatic dish, but something happens once it hits our tongue, rendering us unapproachable, victims of “garlic breath”. Still, I have to admit I can’t resist these savory roots: onions, garlic, shallots, chives, leeks. They add wonderful flavor and character to the food that we hate to love. The best way to have your alliaceous favorites and eat them too, is to invite a friend to join you. Amazingly, in this case, two offenses really do make it right. You’ve heard the saying…(well maybe not, but here goes)…”Friends don’t let friends eat garlic alone!” Good advice for the next time you have a hankering for something garlicky.
Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
