sounds like you live in an interesting neighbourhood?
ha ha nothing to see here !!
Wow this is very thought-provoking! Sounds like a ‘near-death’ experience!

Yes, waiting for every one of us. It’s a good thing to remember, but few of us do. I wrote a piece about death once – how most people most of the time have this kind of unconscious notion that it’s something that happens to other people. Unless of course you’ve had a close brush with it.
Forgot to say – excellent haiku. Loved it. Also loved being reminded.
Thank you so much
My mother is 90 and a few times the last couple of years has seemed on the brink…but still here !
In that case, I’m moving out!
There’s nowhere to run 4joy!!
Very intriguing! And a great reminder…
A commentary on the last few years with mother – she’s still here, all prank calls
Yes, Death in the neighborhood is like this. Nicely done.

Thank you Alice
A bit alarming to imagine death scouring the neighbourhood just calling on someone out of the blue ~ but it sounds as if the victim was prepared ~ don’t think I am!
She’s still alive that’s why I say prank call – but yes who knows when eh..
Oh that’s a relief!
Nicely done. A poke and a prod.
A reminder now and then – I’m coming for you.
Oh yes. An inevitable part of life.
I’m glad she’s prepared. That’s one smart woman.
She tells me she’s ‘passed her useby date’ Maddie
My mum is 90…
Ahhhh, your mum! I was putting you in the haiku as someone protecting her home. Bless your mum!!
I love all the different interpretations – not supposed to explain I guess really
I love knowing the author’s thoughts behind what they write. I’m glad you told me!
Oh that’s good, I do too – in the writing group I went to though we were encouraged not to explain too much..
Yikes!
ha ha
all is well, but it’s out there you know it !
Good one
Thanks Audra
Love it, Annie. A prank call from Death who waits for everyone. Only an Australian/Tibetan could have come up with that one. haha. Cheers to you and your Mum.
keeps on pranking
