the encore (haibun)

Every day come spring, summer and fall, she rides the elevator to the top floor, turns the corner and climbs the stairs to the roof. The wind blows from le Mont Royale; she sits facing west, inhaling the Artist’s performance.

final vernissage
rich magenta hues at dusk
until tomorrow

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com Namaste! View all posts by Tournesol

  I remember the first vernissage I was invited to and literally it means painting clear lacquer on a piece of furniture or floors…well, that was my use of the word in French until I learned another meaning and it was used in the English language too.

    Yes, while I haven’t been to a vernissage, I ran into the word in a book series I like and read up about it. 🙂
