Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #20: Exploring New Games

For the last three years, I've intentionally spent time writing and sharing a Haiku-A-Day for the month of December. The first two years I exchanged a daily Haiku privately with willing friends, mostly through text and email. Last year I wrote and shared each Haiku on my blogThroughout this process, I've discovered that the practice of noticing and reflecting through writing a Haiku grounds me, provides with with a certain kind of peace, assists me with better practicing gratitude, and helps me better navigate this "hurry up" world. This year my goal is the same as last year: to pen and publish a daily Haiku on my blog throughout December. 


Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #20
Exploring New Games

I was recently invited to play Dungeons and Dragons with some good friends. Although doing an activity like this is way out of my comfort zone, and I have no idea what I’m doing, I decided to give it a try. Fortunately, I have understanding friends who guided me through creating a character and beginning the game. 

I don't really know the right terminology for Dungeons and Dragons. I still really don’t know what I’m doing, but I did have fun. It gives me new perspectives of those who play the game. 


Honestly, it’s much more sophisticated than I ever imagined.

  1. A couple years ago a group of my colleagues had a D&D club. I’ve never played the game and remember how controversial it was when it came out.

  2. The Bard has spoken! So glad you've joined in our creative endeavor, I'm looking forward to the rest of our game :)

  3. You did great the first time! I can tell your violence as a last resort type of thinking will make for interesting dynamics at the game table.

    Looking forward to playing again!
