Welcome to Day 2 of National Poetry Month! I’m celebrating by writing a haiku each day in April, and I’d love for you to join me! Simply share your haiku in the comments. For each haiku you share, I’ll enter your name into a drawing for my book of haiku, Life: Haiku by Haiku. (ie, if you share 5 haikus, you’ll be entered 5 times.)
Today’s haiku is titled “Gnarly Path.”
Give the prompt “PATH” a try — but also feel free to share a haiku on any topic! Most important, have fun!!

The more you enter, the better your chances of winning my book of haiku!

ancient wisdom quiet, pure, peace
calm tranquility
Hurray! You did it! And now, you’re entered in the contest. 🙂 I hope you share others! (Thank you!) <3
Cannot see around
The next dark bend on the trail
Take joy in each step
I love this — especially your last line. So very true. Thank you, Pam, and you’re entered! <3
Vestiges of war
Memories ne’er forgotten
Peace and freedom loom
A poignant haiku, Robb. Peace and freedom looming is hopeful, yet feels fragile now.
