National Poetry Month Day 6 – Haiku

Day 6 of National Poetry Month and I’m still going strong. Today’s poem is a Haiku. And there are two.

Winter

Deep in the winter
Ice clinging to once green leaves
Time freezes, shivers
Springtime 

First warm day of spring
Silk clouds coasting overhead
Wave to new young blooms

Haiku is both fun and challenging. It takes a bit of creativity to get the right syllables in each line (5-7-5) and to create an image that pops. Hope you enjoyed these two haikus. Thanks for reading.

National Poetry Month

Did everyone make it through April Fools’ Day? I’m not a big fan of being got, so I’m glad no one tried it with me.

Other than being an acceptable time to trick folks April is National Poetry Month #NaPoMo

Here’s my first poem for the month. A haiku:

 

Your eyes are the sun

Warming my core so deeply

Gaze upon me, look

 

 

 

Have a great day! Happy National Poetry Month
