A few days ago I was reminded that April is designated by the Poetry Foundation as National Poetry Month. There are all kinds of poetry styles. I particularly like writing Haiku. The poems are three lines with of 17 syllables. The form is five, seven, five for the three lines. I appeals to me in simplicity and my engineering side. Hear are some thoughts in poetry as I transition in the glories of spring and summer.
April Poetry Month
Haikus
Life rhythms abide
In spite of day light saving
Time to abolish?
Positive thinking
Season pass purchase now
Geezer optimist.
E-bike riding now
Glorious activity
Spring bloom were observed
Museum gig calls
Volunteering my wisdom?
Captive audience
A final thought! In my freshman year of college my writing skills were so bad that I had to take a remedial class in writing. I daily thank the astute teachers that recognized my need. That learning has enhanced my whole career as an academic where publish or perish has been so evident. Maybe, I should get some remedial lessons in skiing before it is too late.
