Day 17 NaPoWriMo 2022 – Haiku Day

I am calling it a rest day, since I was out and around and ate way too much for dinner tonight. Here are the haiku that I mushed together with minor massaging into yesterday’s sonnet:

april seventeen
easter, pesach, ramadan
but it’s haiku day!

it is haiku day
so seventeen syllables
seventeen is all

perhaps slow starting
but once you’ve got one written
they get easier

so everything comes
in the form of seventeen
five seven and five

not traditional?
an american sentence
formed of seventeen.

whatever you see
or hear or do, haiku day
distilling the world

PS it snowed today after some overnight rain, but the new plants seemed ok.
