Fascination with what?

Life? Nature? Mountain hiking? Poetry? Bands with catchy weird names? Yellow? Quirky movies? Memories? Gipsy music? Yoga? Oxymorons? Many of our fascinations are ephemeral, while some are ever-lasting. One thing that for sure won’t change is my fascination with words. That’s why I’m writing this blog.

Haiku

Between the black and white keys
High and low

My toes are warm

*

In the mirror
A falling star
Can I make a wish?

*

Book
Word by Word
I disappear
