Haiku Just Wanna Have Fun

It was over in a blink, this month of frolicking fun, and I think the haiku I wrote reflect the care-free spirit of July. Please let me know if you have a favorite.

Missteps are mistakes
Pebbled path ‘cross raging gulch

Thunder grumbles but
lightning claps in approval.

Floppy thing’s broken.
Let me take a closer look.

Gone fishing with toes;
no nibbles to be allowed
during the #best parts.#haikuchallenge #micropoetry

River runs the risk
of falling on knees to beg
the lake for mercy. #haikuchallenge #risk #micropoetry pic.twitter.com/JRhobqHKSC

they’re all fun and frolicsome; but I love the thunder one with its ‘pop-up summer class’ —

  Thank you, John. I love that one as well. Thunder and lightning during my night summer class inspired it, actually.

Loved them all, but Gone Fishing and Floppy things broken are my favorites: love the accompanying pictures!! So glad you had a frolicking good time!! Now, I will have to use “frolic” in a poem soon! ☺️💖

  Thank you I recently stumbled on Hilda. She’s a 1959’s pin-up, of sorts. Quirky, adventurous and oh so silly. I’m so glad you enjoyed those. 💜

Love the painting at the beginning and my favourite haiku is the thunder and lightning one, the last line an unusual juxtaposition. 🙂❤❌

  Thank you, Carolyn. I appreciate you reading these. That one was very much inspired by my students. A couple of friends really like that one, so maybe I should find another place to share that one. 💜
