Best friend and I traditionally have a barbecue each time we meet. We prefer a wood fire and have some ‘secret’ picnic spots in suburban Sydney, easier where I live in a scenic rural setting.
Vegetarian fare on Turkish bread with tea then a nice long walk. It’s the company and conversation that is the real gift.
Close friendship nurtured

That was one of the most touching Haibun’s on picnics I read: full of flavor of the event and more so of the flavor of deep friendship — well done. BTW — when I comment on your blog you click my name and keep goinng to my philosophy blog, not my poetry blog. Click here is my Picnic Haibun, if you are interested. I do like your visits to Triangulations too, though. Smile.
