I had written a post and cannot remember its title to retrieve it, so I will share some Haiku I am writing for April, poetry month.

snow shadows turn blue

dusk falls and twilight deepens

soot settles to black

full faced queen moon

stars vigilantly stand guard

spotlight dazzles moths

morning light glitters

filtered through wind shuffled leaves

templed gold pillars

horizon stained pink

pale gray parchment sunrise sky

lipstick edged teacup

sun’s golden pen strokes

appear on pale parchment sky

contrail Haiku

two haggard stars hang

stubbornly in the darkness

child’s bedroom nightlights

light bright smiling face

parts the early morning mist

clean tot pops from bath

children’s faces press

smiling against the windows

school bus at day’s end
