winter moon
the bite
into chocolate tart
*****
Sunday was a day for crafting, cooking and dreaming… the cooking element was this decadent peanut butter oreo pie and of course, part of the dreaming was this haiku.
Hope your Sunday was peaceful…

It was a spectacularly clear night on Friday as ten of us gathered at Valori Espresso Lounge & Gallery for our moon viewing ginko along Scarborough Beach. The moon was right on time (6:30pm), revealing its red glow before rising majestically. Here is a selection of poems and photos from the night.
still night
a plover calls

That’s right, this Friday, June 17, the first winter full moon will rise and what better way to celebrate than to take a walk along the gorgeous Scarborough Beach composing haiku.
If you are interested in joining the group for the ginko, the meeting point is Valori Espresso Lounge and Gallery (71C Landsborough Ave. Scarborough) at 6pm. There will be writing, workshopping and the sharing of haiku before and after the walk, so it will be a great collaborative learning experience for everyone who comes along.
If you would like to book a spot you can email Therese Morgan at valoriespressoloungeandgallery@hotmail.com
Cost of the event is $20 per person.
