Haiku Challenge for April 8th

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

Haiku Challenge for April 7th

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

Haiku Challenge for April 4th

Winter's hand is still
Holding us up against her
Helping us love spring

Haiku Challenge for April 3rd

A haiku a day
Isn't really very hard
Just seventeen sounds

Haiku challenge for April 2nd

Bright sun on fresh snow
Flowers peak through white blanket
Springtime in Boulder!

My April 1 Haiku:

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