Haiku is for Hoopla

I dabble in haiku mostly because I like the focus the fixed structure brings.

This one is appropos as the snow returns for an encore even as the trees bring forth their first leaves:

Crocuses poke through

Stubborn edges of grey snow

Heralding warm days

I tried to capture the immediacy of a summer thunderstorm with this one:

I see it coming

Rain, pelting, pounding, soaking

Run, run to shelter

Here is a parody of the things that make headlines:

Hostess closes down

Panic ensues; Twinkies gone

Epic tragedy

Finally, a straighforward, "life is good" and if its not, it will be:

Limitless blue sky

Shows infinite potential

Reaching improvement
