So I decided to respond to a twitter poetry challenge by Young Chicago Authors (@YoungChiAuthors , http://youngchicagoauthors.org/blog/), to write a haiku about your favorite TV show.  Here’s mine:

march thirty one: national haiku writing month, in honor of black history month

Because I fell behind with my daily postings, I have decided to put a little twist on this week. I have declared this week “Black Creativity Week” and In honor of the final week of Black History Month, I’m going to wrap up the last week of National Haiku Writing Month with some poems I previously shared with you. Enjoy!

Bonus: You get two poems

focus

to entrepreneur

is to wish upon a star

American Dream

 

and on the last day

for twenty-eight days

we celebrate history

America lives

march thirty one: national haiku writing month, #12 and #13

Trying to keep up with national haiku writing month, here’s poem #12 and #13

 

#12, college life

 

living on campus

 

should be safe away from guns

 

for some it’s like home

 

 

 

#13, fugitive

 

running from the law

 

drama takes over tv

 

up in flames it’s done

I’m still playing catch up so here are more haiku to catch me up through the first 10 days of National Haiku Writing Month. Enjoy!

haiku for the work week (written on April 29, 2012)

Sunday, day of rest

take time to recuperate

prepping for Monday

haiku for Music Of The Past (written on April 28, 2012) (this poem was inspired by the fact that for the last few days, old school songs from the 80s, 90s, and most recently the 60s, have been popping in my head very randomly.)

music in my head

Old School was a way of life

where is the talent?
