The dazzling sun gleam

Hampered my ability

To watch the sky show

About oneta hayes

ABOUT ME Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews). To some I’m more like “Didn’t you used to be my teacher?” or “Don’t I know you from someplace?” To you, perhaps, I am a Fellow Blogger. Not “fellow” like a male or a guy, but “fellow” like a companion or an adventurer. I would choose to be Grandma Blogger, and have you pull up a chair, my website before you, while I tell you of some days of yore. I have experienced life much differently than most of you. It was and is a good life. I hope to share nuggets of appreciation for those who have gone before me and those who come after me. By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before. Once upon a time in a little house on a prairie - oops, change that lest I commit plagiarism - and change that “house on the prairie” to “dugout on the prairie.” So my story begins...

      Do you suppose the sky walkers would have detracted from the sun show?

        Oh! I didn’t even click the link. My comment was based on just the haiku itself — I thought the link was the title. 🙂

          Are we lost? I was pointing to the fact that the sun is a dazzling sky show that we do not recognize for the amazing sight it is. The haiku content is that the dazzling sun hindered the sky walkers show. Which is really more impressive if we had never seen either before? The sun. How much we take for granted. My subtlety is too subtle, maybe? I will join the ranks of great poets if I continue writing in such a manner that one misses the point! I’m laughing at myself. In truth I never thought of such thing until you made the comment. Once you did, I thought, “Well, what do you know. I’ve been hit by a stroke of brilliance.
