April!
Spring!
My birthday month!
My sweetheart's birthday month!
And — ta da — National Poetry Month!

Each year I love it and each year I celebrate by writing and sharing a haiku every single day of the month.
This year is no exception — and what better reason to re-invigorate my sorry and neglected blog?

For the next month you'll find my haiku here, and/or on my facebook, and/or via my Twitter account.

And I'd like YOU to keep me company by writing haiku of your own. You can share yours in the comments here or on facebook, or with your own tweets. And I just may feature some of them in my occasional wrap-up posts along the way! Plus, at the end of the month, guess what? Prizes! So, let me know if you're in and then get on with it! Can't wait to read what you come up with…

Here's mine:

Haiku 1

Not a breath of wind
Kites hang hopeful in the tree
We all yearn for flight
