Haiku 1 — April 1, 2024

It’s that time of year again, friends!

Happy National Poetry Month and more specifically, Happy Haiku-ing! This is my 15th year straight of writing a haiku every day in April and, as always, I invite you to join me for as many of those as you’d like! You might remember that last year’s theme was scientific processes, so my haiku were quite specific — glaciation, reproduction, evaporation. This year I’m staying a little looser and will just be writing, each day, on something I’m grateful for.

Starting, broadly, with spring:

Spring snowstorms give way
to warmth, pollen, pink blossoms
It’s flip flop weather!

NOTES:
— More on the specifics of haiku in the next couple of days but suffice it to say that if you’re writing three lines of observation you’re within shouting distance.
— Feel free to use the same hashtags I always use so I can follow you as you write!
— This year I’m sharing on my blog, facebook and instagram
