We’re getting to the last couple of days of National Poetry Month, and I just want to have a little fun. So tonight, I’m sharing a photo that always makes me smile, even if the two Batgirls aren’t smiling. This, of course, inspired the last line of Day 26’s haiku, which is my subtle commentary about recent news stories about women being told they should smile more, often by grumpy old men. 🙂
As always, if you share your haiku in the comments of this blog, you might win a copy of my book, Life: Haiku by Haiku!

Young pink is pretty
Old pink is power and joy
Wisdom comes with age
Wisdom certainly does come with age! 🙂 Love your haiku, Pam!
This is about a photograph that only my daughter has a copy of as far as I know, but it is my favorite photo of her… from when she was dancing in a circle and singing with joy as a preschooler in Nakajo-machi Shibata-…. near Niigata…
OK here goes
In mid-air shouting
Stephanie’s bright happy smile
both feet off the ground
I love the image — and the haiku!
Shouting boistrously
Stephanie floats through the air
Circle holding hands
