April is National Poetry Month!

A Wrung Sponge challenged me to write a haiku a day for the month of April; I could feel some bubbling inside of me this weekend, but held off and only wrote these today (I promise):

Sunday in Brooklyn

smothered by fog I amble

through the streets alone

***

warm, fragrant air seeps

from the laundromat, masking

the sewer’s raw stench

***

my heart remembers

walking these streets years ago

eyes wide with wonder

***

and now I return

wiser yet still awed by the

beauty of Brooklyn
