just taking it all in

After finding myself on a bit of a roll with my haiku writing over the past few months, I’m about as surprised as anyone that my well runneth dry while vacationing here in Bequia. Heck, I was even able to write about the departure lounge at Logan Airport on the day we left, but once we arrived in a place where I finally had plenty of time on my hands, nada. It’s not like Bequia is lacking in inspiration — quite the contrary — I’m just having a difficult time acclimating to the vocabulary necessary to describe yachts instead of snowdrifts. Rather than viewing my current dilemma as writer’s block, I’d like to think I’m just taking it all in. There will be weeks and months to reflect upon the seven days we spend here, after which I am fully confident that the words will come.
