Grand Finale by Being new at the haiku experience has been challenging for me, yet at the same time exciting. I have learned that haiku comes easier if I can relive an experience or feeling. Having a good day or bad day also seems to change the tone of my haiku (as I’m sure will be obvious as my collection is read). I also enjoy writing about my family, especially my daughter. I have chosen these select haiku not because I feel they are my best, but because they reveal my true feeling and who I am; a loving mother, a family-oriented person, and not perfect. Please enjoy the following haiku and thank you for sharing this experience with me. |

tiny footprints in the snow |
|
flowers blooming |
|
blankets in the grass |
|
dirty tear-stained faces |
|
impatiently waiting by the lake |
|
shadows appear |

Grandma’s house |
|
cardboard houses |
|
staring out the window |
|
snow outside too cold to play warmth from the oven scotch tape and ribbons everywhere soldiers are marching muddy footprints on the porch angels watching from above rengay by |
