*A lune (rhymes with moon) is a very short poem. It has only three lines. It is similar to a haiku. A haiku has three lines, and it follows a 5/7/5 syllable pattern. The lune’s syllable pattern is 5/3/5. Since the middle line is limited to three syllables, it is often the shortest line of the three. This makes a lune curve a bit like a crescent moon.

For the next twenty-five days, except Saturdays and Sundays, I will share a lune with each of you. This is Lune#2 of this project.

Nala is fourteen years old now. She’s visiting and will be going home soon. Jernee still clings to her as if the world sits atop her head.

*Author’s Note: As Nala ages, I find myself wondering what will become of Jernee when her best friend/cousin has no more strength to fall for her shenanigans. I love to watch the two of them interact with each other. There is this silent code that I am not privy to and will never know. I am amazed that they seem to have secrets from me.

A Christmas Jernee

I trust that each of you, if you celebrate it, enjoyed the Christmas holiday as much as you possibly can. The love of my life and I definitely enjoyed our day full of rest, good company, relaxation, and an awesome dinner too. I am grateful to have had the day to reflect and not do much of anything.

Here’s hoping the weekend ahead will be a lovely one for all of you.

Peace and blessings.
