Moving haiku

I have set up another blog devoted solely to my growing haiku/poetry obsession, I feel like I just have to let this current obsession run its course because I am even starting to think in haiku and I want this blog to be devoted to the environmental news and issues I care about.   I hope you will follow me over to www.haikudoyou.wordpress.com

Still not done with haiku

Steady sun shining

Family made strong, renewed

Working together

Is Earth Day worth it?

Or now just some green washing?

Our actions will show

Since it is National Poetry month and Earth day is in April I have decided to tweet a haiku a day.  Follow me on Twitter @beau9609.  I love haiku because it is easy (that’s not saying I’m good at it) and makes you think about word choice- an important lesson in life and writing!

When will Spring come here

April is the cruelest month

Cold, blustery, rainy.
