A haiku journey ...

4/14/2020

Every week, author Ronovan Hester posts a weekly prompt for budding Haiku poets. This week his prompt is cake and steak. Really??

For the life of me, I couldn't think of a way to craft a haiku that was meaningful, so I decided to go playful instead. My attempt is below. If you're a parent or grandparent or aunt/uncle, you know these little guys - and love them!

Here are a few of my haiku poems. I hope you enjoy them. Stay safe, my friends.

Love this! Me, on the other hand. Full of guilt, but I still reach for the sweets first. I'm gonna have new hips before this is over😊
