National Poetry Month – Day 3: April Showers

Welcome to Day 3 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 “April Showers.”

Raindrops on a window with blurred city lights in the background and a poetic text overlay about April showers and haiku flowers.

Give the prompt “April Showers” a try — but also feel free to share a haiku on any topic! Most important, have fun!!
