Applying the idea of writing small to my prompt, I thought of a haiku for the season. I love haiku. I was introduced to this poetic form when I was in sixth grade. I use it as a snapshot — trying to capture a vivid image in seventeen syllables. If you aren’t familiar with haiku, it is a three line poem, usually concerning nature. The first line is five syllables, the second is seven, and the third is five.

Here’s mine:
In April. the sky
Cries. Out of anger? Sadness?
The earth send flowers.
Nice haiku. You’ve invoked a beautiful image here.
Thanks so much! I really enjoy the challenge of haiku — saying as much as I can with so few words.
