I usually hybernate at home on Tuesdays. Last Tuesday, I had a different plan. Remember, Keri Smith's 100 ideas/100 days? Well, I am still plugging away at it. Challenge No. 5: Rewrite a poem that I respond to. I chose Li Po's "Quiet Night Thoughts" poem . I love his poetry. I first discovered Li Po when I read an Ezra Pound translation . For this challenge, I wanted to go to a cafe. I think Harriet's coffee photo last week set me on this course. Thank you Harriet:) A 25 minute walk got me to Cour Plus. There sign board lists the cakes available for the day. Chestnut cake, Apple tart a la mode, or Kabocha pumpkin cheesecake. Kabocha pumpkin cheese cake topped with cream and berries was a no-brainer choice! I had planned to eat only half and take the rest home ... so much for plans:) MORNING The sun's rays gently wake me from my dream. The sounds outside my window remind me how far away I am from you. I close my eyes once more and dream
