Haiku sent in by you!

Here are the Haiku sent in by my kind newsletter readers today, April 15:

Haiku? Like roping
funny steer: Just one silly
bull at a time works.

--Jamie VanEaton

And 3 by Terzah Becker:

Mom of twins, age two:
My work is never over
My fun, too, endures.

Today my daughter
Took Miss Duck to the doctor:
Pretend play arrives!

Evening with my son:
Eyes rise, looking for the moon
Pale in springtime skies.

Haiku Challenge for April 15th

Uh-oh! Missed a few days! But don't worry. I've made up for it. Today is a 4 haiku day. :-)

Four days no haiku!
Where has the professor been?
Everyone needs rest

Glorious Boulder
City of dreams and visions
So glad I am here

Lunch at City Club
Safe place to share ideas
Smart people goodwill

People want to know
What age my toy store is for
No age police here!

Time to rest, relax, recoup

My parakeet Einstein
Cries when he can't see my face
So nice to be loved

Winter is done with
Its last gasp joke on us all
Spring springs eternal

Haiku Challenge for April 5th and 6th

April 5 haiku:

Magical Sunday
A palette fresh to fill with love
Simplicity rocks

April 6 haiku:

Goals and objectives
Enter not into matters
Strictly of the heart

These sent in by Susan Smith:

hazy sky calls me
beckoning towards my Self
who is it i meet

soul cries for freedom
above below inside out
dare I turn it loose

watched a snowflake die
transitioning of seasons
moving forward now

Holding us up against her
Helping us love spring

April fool haiku
A tiny little poem
With a great big heart
