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 of home.

Your poem is enough!
I enjoyed your SS so much. A very well done.
hugs!
I love that you walked there to rewrite the poem. What a great challenge...and you got a shadow shot out of it too.
(This is the first time in a long time I've been able to get into your blog. My computer kept crashing each time I tried)
