Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Very nice write. We crack open a can and enjoy the fruits of others labors sans a thought of it's origins. I envy the life of those who produce pleasure. Such honesty in both the sentiment and the write.

Oh those cranberries. So red and tempting!
Have you seen that new commercial where that desperate woman is trying to squeeze the juice out of that one little berry? LOL at that the first time I saw it.

Oh, good picture and story.

This girl does not "open cans" of cranberry sauce, I make my own, LOL.  We had Thanksgiving already, and now I am craving turkey again!  This was lovely Nan, and I am with Karen I sure would like to hear the different rhythms and meters read aloud, maybe then I might come close to getting this.  Lovely sonnet, and picture.  

Carpe' Diem
