haiku to celebrate National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month is celebrated globally to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry every April. Staying true to the “in brevity we trust” writing mantra, here’s a handful of my haiku.

eventide

i run to you in

moonlight silently; the wind

takes away my words

* * * * *

doubt

the patter of failed

expectations as soft as

raindrops in August

* * * * *

run

ice cracks, gulls chatter

the wind hums a lullaby

my feet know the song

* * * * *
