2/4 April haiku

My last post took us from April 1 to April 8, which is 8 days (in case anyone is counting). I already wrote a haiku today, so this post will take us from April 9 to April 16, which is also 8 days. I am well aware that a week is only 7 days long. However, April has 30 days...so I had to have a few collections with 8 days in them (or have four 7-day collections and one 2-day collection and that hardly makes any sense). 

April 9

a dreary morning

against all odds

she asks for milk

Bonus

soggy catkins

curling on the asphalt

a dead snake

April 10

yawning awake

the iris blossom is plucked

by toddler fingers

Bonus

a thunderstorm

by fate or by luck

the garden drinks

April 11

wind advisory

exhale when angry

breathe out, move on

Bonus

trippy tricycles

jackknife maneuver

fractured elbow

April 12

stuttering star

bringing my sister

midnight plane

April 13

hopeful children

surround an empty pit

waiting for fire

Bonus

marshmallows   

swell in the heat

white, gold, burnt

April 14

lightly dusted 

with sifted tree pollen

sugar-coated sneeze

April 15

poison ivy

here, there, everywhere

itchy canopy

April 16

taillights 

ride off into the sunrise

morning flight
