A line drawing that could resemble a fingertip with some fur caught in a hangnail. 

The haiku reads:

out to dinner— a perfect rob roy with a twist (this is from a haibun…which attached as an image) #senryu #haibun #micropoem #poem #vss365
Irish Goodbye

my father died at seventy-one, ten years after my mother, on his third wife. he made no children with this one— she came with two boys. at the funeral i read something from the bible. i don't remember what. my friend, who was a priest at the time, performed the mass. when we carried the casket out to the hearse the older boy crumpled to the ground. i remember guinness at the doherty hotel near the church. i don't remember the wake.

out to dinner—
a perfect rob roy
with a twist
