Why do you go, dear brother Rajubhai, to the last part in the middle of it?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the whole year!
hahaha
How interesting, Gabi. I had no idea! Your haiku has a lot more meaning for me as a result of your prose.

Do I see a haibun in the making? Very interesting. Is there a purification ceremony, too?

Hi Gabi
ReplyDeletethank you for teaching me about your culture. This haiku brought a smile from the smile of your healthy husband.

A lovely ku, Gabi. Thanks for enlightening us about the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteM.
Gabi san, very impressive ku, and I learned something new too.

Gabi, I really like the idea of this custom...and your haiku is delightful!
ReplyDeleteL.C.
Great news about your husband, Gabi.
ReplyDeleteEven in ignorance of the custom, your ku will resonate with many men of a certain age--and, one hopes, with their spouses.
