On Robert’s 41st Birthday Celebration: a #TBT (on a Friday) #haibun featuring my latest from .@ImageCurve

 

Tina must have laughed about it at least ten times. “I can’t believe you gave your mother a Christmas list in July!”

All my brother does is smile, as he takes another bite.

wind-blown candles
he whispers his birthday wish
in my ear

    I like the “wind-blown” together with “whispers” in the haiku.

    Does your brother have a Halloween birthday, Frank? I love the ‘wind-blown candles’ and the whispered birthday wish – now I want to know what it was!

      Ironically, my brother’s birthday is in July! 😆 The Image Curve Editor’s select the photo to accompany my haibun: I have no idea why they selected that one! Thank you, Kim! 😀
