April 17 is International Haiku Day so I thought I’d write some haiku for today’s NaPo. Enjoy!
A Handful of Haiku
night pierced by a cry
sleeping babe plagued by nightmares
maybe it’s a cat
————————————-
frozen in distress
frostbit fingertips signal
arctic rescue need
————————————-
family gathers
getting ceremonial
begin with good smudge
————————————-
candied buttercup
sweet spring melting on a tongue
butterscotch nectar
————————————-
summer song warblers
tuning up for transition
morning comes sooner

You’re really good. I wrote my first haiku about a year ago. I guess I should try more. It’s a particular talent really…
