Poems: Presenting Haiku Poetry 3

A polar vortex

Busied our January.

It was very cold.

February came.

Happy Valentine’s to me!

I gifted myself. <3

There was a blizzard.

City facilities closed.

That was March 19th.

When April arrived,

I was out of the country.

Morocco and Spain.

There was a wedding

With a Moroccan backdrop.

Outside Marrakech.

Sister-in-law gained!

There is beauty in culture.

Brother full of joy.

I rode a camel.

That was an experience

In a rock desert.

A ferry to Spain.

A train ride to Sevilla.

A train to Madrid.

My April’s been full

Of sightseeing and great food.

Adventure awaits!

Haiku on demand
National Poetry Month
My favorite month

The moon hides the sun.
There was a solar eclipse
On April the eighth.

It was cloudy here
The path of totality
Did not include us.

It’s my birthday month
A month of celebration
No aging here, ha!

Delivering hope
Through musical fundraising
The Night of Music

What is writer’s block?
Have you experienced it?
Write down your story.

We all have stories
Some small, some fantastical
Take charge. Write them down.

Find your ray of light
Project it onto others
Appreciate you!

A poetry post.

National Poetry Month.

A post of haikus.

It’s a day for fools,

And it’s a day for pranksters.

Happy April 1st!

A decadent cake.

Dusted in powdered sugar.

Edible flowers.

Springtime has arrived.

Waiting for green grass and warmth.

See the flowers bloom.

Imagination.

Dream a nightmare fantastic.

Big feelings, strong words.

Books. My happy place.

T-B-R shelf never shrinks.

A mountain of books.

Travel. More happy.

From Walt Disney World Resort

To everywhere else.

Life. Do live it up.

Aim to be a source of light.

Lots of love, Lisa.
