In Honor of International Haiku Poetry Day

17 Apr

A kind relative alerted me the date. April 17th is International Haiku Poetry Day. So here is a haiku — written off the cuff as I always feel haiku should be (but which I don’t always achieve).

Blue skies and bright sun

Lilacs a little early

Yes! Spring is springing

(The photo is from a few days ago. The sky is blue and the sun is shining today.)

FYI – The Vienna City Marathon is on Sunday. Stand by for the usual report (which, however, due to circumstances, will probably be shorter than usual).

    Lovely. I’ll have to come up with a haiku myself! And will the Marathon be shorter or your report will be shorter? Hope you’re OK….
