Happy new year...

[smilo]

...to all those druids like me,
who think the real new year
begins at the winter solstice.
we've made the turn
away from oblivion
and are heading back
toward the sun and longer days.
now, there's something to celebrate.

A belated Happy Chinese New Year.

It was actually yesterday.

This is the year of the Chicken / Rooster.

happy belated new year.

i can't help but notice the coincidence
of our new blustering game cock
with a size matters obsession.
....or, is it a coincidence?

 

[Ivan]

Not sure what you mean by the Gamecock.
I noticed Bing had a Rooster as an image a few days ago though.

too subtle, i guess.
maybe, too many meanings.
to be absolutely clear,
it was not a personal attack.

googled game cock and got;
"A gamecock is a type of rooster with physical
and behavioral traits suitable for cockfighting."
then, there is the vulgar slang,
which i will not repeat here,
that ties in with the size obsession comment.
i can't help but find it ironic
considering the state of current events.
