“Spring in Michigan” #Haiku Sequence, #NaPoWritMo

Posted on 19 Apr 2021 by Colleen M. Chesebro

I missed a couple days of NaPoWritMo day 19 and my poem-a-day practice due to a packed schedule. I hope to make it up with a glimpse of my afternoon, seen from the upstairs window…

spring thunder
clouds, opaque and dark
sky grumbles

cold rain falls...
petal confetti
litters wet streets

redbird squawks
nest torn asunder,
day's labor lost

“Petal confetti” I love this word pairing. It’s soft and strong at the same time. Beautiful piece Colleen.
