A Season of Haiku Poems

www.Etsy.com/shop/GenevieveKeller

For me these past months have alternately flown and slugged their way through the spring into summer season. As with many of us, my days have been like a ride on a Ferris wheel. To cope or just add rhythm, I have been mentally summing my days in Haiku poems. Some poems are written down, others just bounce around on the wind.   



Here's one:
Pandemic painting
isolating with color
my soul saving work.

Another:
Today, quietly,
I retired from teaching
health vs. children.  

                                                  Yes, that's my big news. I've just retired. Yes, this was a huge decision. The good news is that I will be able to paint and create full-time. The very sad piece of this is that I will dearly miss the students. In a post-vaccine world I hope to see them again. 

Here's one more for the gardeners:
It's no boundaries time
There used to be a limit
Weeding all day long.
