In his old age Basho, who may be credited with establishing the haiku form, undertook a long journey to the remote regions of northern Japan, fully expecting to die before completing it.

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Dec. 18, 2021- Opposites
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “opposites.” Use the word “opposites” or write about things that are opposites. Have fun!
On National Opposite Day
What would you do?
Write with a fork
And, eat with a pen?
Or, swim on the tree
And, walk on the water?
Or, make cake sour
And, chicken with sugar?
Make a plan for going north
But end up on the South?
Cry on a joke
And, laugh when falling down?
It’s the day of opposites
Do whatever you want
Just don’t hurt your uncle
By calling him, aunt!
