Tonight’s Haiku: July 26, 2020
glorious sunlight

A Nightmare Haiku
Unclothed while at school
My adolescent terrors
While birds remain unphased
This was a response to a poetry prompt on Instagram. This is what popped into mind.

A Thursday Morning Haiku
early morning
small birds converse
time for tea
Early morning, no one else awake. I sip tea and listen to the birds sing.
For this poem and image I used the app “InstaQuote” on my Kindle Fire. I like the paper background and the font choices. It’s my preferred app on my Kindle since there’s no Canva app.

A Good Morning Haiku
night is complete
dawn’s grace arrives
resisting waking
