Welcome to Day 4 of National Poetry Month! (Barely! I’ve had grandkids here for Easter, so I’ve written my haiku and am posting close to the last minute!)

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 “Fingerprints.” I often leave my grandkids’ fingerprints on the windows, doors and, television, at least for a bit. They are reminders of tiny fingers and precious imaginations.

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