Haiku for every day of May 2023

 May 1

Gray skies, tanks, Mayday

Berlin gives way to Prague sun

Remember the gift

Playdough fills my mouth

Rugeley tries a second time

Morning impression

Heat climbs toward summer,

Jigsaws, movies – stay inside

Need more exercise!

Dimples, chess, first prize

Kindergarten champion

Miles smile, mile wide

They love digging dirt

Planting seeds and making mud

Soon we’ll see the beach!

New King Charles, Derby

Lakers crush, Cubs win again

All the world’s a stage

 

May 7

Never leave the Shire

Happy, safety matters most

Frodo walks away

 

May 8

Set up, CHESS, take down

Kids flood rooms and play their games,

Of course it’s worth it!

ADRN moved

1 hour every Tuesday

Close to Aki’s house

Antarctic dinos

Big museum, small boy, but

Jasper loved Imax

Texas history

Eight years in school, soak it in

Wear a cowboy hat

What brought joy to you this week?

And, what troubled you?

Music, Bible, friends know us,

Look us in the eyes

Walked out in the sun

Do all they can do

Fish from the pier, throw them back

Miles, Marc, Ken, me

Sunrise, beach, sunset

Jimmy Buffet sings our song

This beach never ends
