Poem A Day for Day 21

I am posting the poems I wrote today. The prompt was to write a Haiku. So I wrote more than one. I'm posting all of them. They are mostly about nature, but some of them aren't.:) But before that I want to remind you that if you have a post about Earth Day please join this group:

Read all the posts here. Mine will be there too.:)

Here are the Haikus:

Haiku

Haiku #1

Delicate blossoms

gathering on tree branches

Decorate the roads

Haiku #2

Joy resides not in

thinking about what you will do

But in the job done.

Haiku #3

Green covers the ground

Grass sweet smelling and fresh grows

Allergies arise

Haiku #4

Wild violets bloom

in hidden places away

from stomping feet

Haiku #5

Why can’t I ever

find a shoe I’d swoon about

that also fits me?

Haiku #6

We set aside this

day to remember Jewish

Extermination
