I’v been writing haiku daily for 3 decades & sending them into the universe: refreshing or cringey. I live in San Francisco w/my Dutch guy, a box turtle older than all of my haiku &two semi feral cats. If you write haiku, I would love to follow you too!

kid memory
I crayoned the heart into
two ice cream cones

#haiku
(I was in first grade, and the teacher said it was no longer a heart . She made me redo the assignment…still kind of proud of my little self).
