To catch up on the past few days, I tried my hand at a handful of haiku poems.
Years ago, I used to write a haiku every day, so I’m getting flashbacks to that. I had forgotten how restrictive the syllable count can feel!
Ants traverse concrete
They need no social distance
No six feet apart
Masks meant for sawdust
Glasses that won’t stop fogging
Each trip to the store
Outside my window
Two rabbits, one horse…one car
We all watch drive by
For dinner tonight
We are out of flour and eggs
Cereal will do!
