South to the Cottage
Only sounds like vacation
Sunbathe on the deck
Lie in bed all day
No one sends post cards
Wish you were still here
Whenever my Facebook status is "Eileen is headed to the cottage", my friends leave comments along the lines of "Have fun!" and "Enjoy your vacation!" Which I find funny in a not funny way. The Cottage provides hospice and respite care to residents with HIV. I volunteer there whenever they have a project. I've also been known to create my own projects. So, while we sometimes have fun, and I unequivovally want to be there, one would never confuse it for a second with vacation.
So anyway, my brain mulled the comments over for a while and came up with the above lines in early March. Oh, I was also on a haiku kick for quite a while which devolved into messing around with particular syllable counts and sometimes somewhat stand alone phrases for each line.
