Thanks to Jama at Jama’s Alphabet Soup for hosting all the Poetry Friday Goodness
On Tuesday, I received a text from my niece. Her son, Oliver, wrote a haiku and she shared it with me. She also asked him if I could post it here for my wide Poetry Friday community. and he said yes.
chirping crickets here
they could be opera singers
spring has come to us

Oliver wrote a wonderful #poemofpresence. I will forever hear crickets as opera singers.
​My responses:
scratchy eyes
cottonwood fluff puffs
spring arrives

I felt a bit stuck this week. As I wrote in my notebook page which seemed to span between May 11-15, I wondered if sometimes when you feel stuck it’s your brain’s way of doing work, puzzling things out at a deeper level. These #poemsofpresence happened. Not all made it on Twitter.
