Wednesday Haiku
Spring sprang green and lush shade shadows appeared on streets baby leaves birthed
Coasting on my bike down my childhood summer street Look, Mom, no hands, look!
A haiku is small it has a five seven five prison to live in
Love that last one, about haiku being a prison for a poet, but instead of 6x8x8, you only get 5x7x5. Still, you fit a lot of life in that little space.

They are all good, but I especially like the middle one. I can totally relate.
