April Fools

The covid-19 is like a nightmare for everyone. With no drugs, or vaccine everyone is scared to get the virus. At first when it starts, I thought it was just a joke that people are making fun of, but I realized is not because it’s all over the new. Everyone is waiting to hear good news about the end at virus.

spring time
falling for each other
April fools . . . in love

Hope Klessig

Most of our April Fools haiku were funny, and playful, but I liked that this one was different. It was comparing a couple falling for each other. It is referencing the day of April Fools as people, instead of all about the jokes. I see it as two fools in love, and I like how they connected it to April Fools. It is out of the ordinary and it reminds me of those Summer flings that happen. Morgan Timmons, Spring 2020
