A veela’s dream coils
up a dazed Hogwarts turret
she wakes up smiling
(Edit) What I found out after linking with Haiku my Heart last night made me unusually quiet that if my books and pillows could talk they would have asked what happened. Today I wake up thinking Spadoman will want us to drop the sad faces and cheer up as we move on this journey of life and the life beyond.
That meal made me laugh
I will miss you, Spadoman
soar with the angels!

What an interesting looking flower, I don’t know that I’ve seen one of these before, as I don’t recognize the name. Thanks for the sharing, love the Hogwarts haiku!
I love flowers but I don’t know a lot of their names so sometimes I have fun naming them myself – this one I call Turret of Hogwarts 🙂
lovely macro shot and haiku ~ thanks, carol, xxx
So nice!
Nice!
Nice shot of color on a gray day♥
Perfection and thank you!
So beautifully put in word and image. Thank you.
You’re absolutely right: Joe would want us to wipe away the tears (as many as possible, anyway), and get on with the business of living with a smile.
Tis true… Joe, so made us laugh. And that dog food post… was it not the best? But tears are good too. Feeling with our hearts, that is what I got from Joe. And sometimes… there is loss and tears and sad faces. And then the sun comes out, and we wake, and see the world anew, like from the top of that Hogwart’s turret.
It definitely was. I had so much fun reading that post.
Wonderful thoughts, Lea, thank you.
Such a wonderful tribute to our friend Joe… he indeed made us all laugh – he was the most positive and wise man among us and I will miss his comments and blogposts dearly… but his spirit will always be among us on Fridays.
I couldn’t agree more.
