Bad Poetry Friday

April is National Poetry month. Inspired by the amazing Jason Reynolds I am writing a poem a day, though mostly haikus.

These are the poems from April 1st-8th

(1)

April is for poems

but I am not a poet

This will surely suck

 

(2)

Haikus are just texts

sent before there were cell phones

poet to poet

 

(3)

Early bird wakes me up

Drinking coffee under the trees

Dad is still asleep

 

(4)

Wherever we go

it always rains on our trips

Metaphor for life?

 

(5)

The tide is too high

for dogs to chase seagulls

Goodbye, Oregon

 

(6)

My kid hogs my bed

steals covers and my pillow

 

(7)

Summer has snuck in

much like a teenager who

has broken curfew

 

(8)

I used to dream of

going on wild adventures

Now I dream of naps
