It began on March 17, 2020 — as lockdowns started, fear over this new thing called “COVID” multiplied by the minute and I began writing a daily haiku as an antidote to what I was experiencing. Today marks 500 daily haiku and it’s time to reset, recalibrate and reflect. While I will not be writing a daily haiku (until January 2022 when I will write one each day for the month of January during my yearly #HaikuChallenge), you can be sure I will still share my observations, musings, and photos on my blog and on social media. To those who have followed along for the past 16+ months…thank you. I am grateful to you for companioning with me as we navigated and continue to navigate the strange pandemic world we are living in. Haiku has made me more mindful, more present, and more grateful for noticing the “ordinary” — that truly becomes the “extraordinary” when viewed with haiku eyes.
five hundred haiku
my pandemic poetry
time to say adieu
