Hay-Fever Haiku

I almost forgot about April’s drip of haiku. With all the amazing poetry writing going on for NaPoWriMo I didn’t end up crafting one each day, especially these last few weeks with lockdowns back in effect. But, these are my favorites, which I think illustrate some of my allergic reactions to this month’s back-n-forth weather and social regulations. Please let me know if you have a favorite.

Folded up feelings,
I origami love you;

have your cake, and eat it too,"

Care for a journey?
I've flown over the rainbow.

Sunlight forsakes us;
even when frost takes the bloom,
believe in the seeds.#haikuchallenge (believe) pic.twitter.com/ApqML2pVpA

Deep frozen frown lines,
expressions fixed like cold cream.

Life’s sundae tastes sweet,
baffled by cherry on top
making heart complete. #haikuchallenge (baffled) pic.twitter.com/Ju25PLsPLK

  Thank you, Ingrid. This is the first time I’ve figured out how to copy and paste them with the graphics. I’m relatively new on both platforms, so still learning here.

    I certainly do, Karen; can’t recall any lately but the ones I have written I usually send to my other blog, the bigbluemouth one —
