twenty twenty, perfectly imperfect
my personal year in haiku, month by month
january
twenty twenty. cheers!
great expectations. naive?
hindsight, a gut punch
february
hospice. goodbyes said
sorrow, grieving, down to four
chilled bones. heavy hearts
march
routine morning. not
today. a heart condition.
six stents. alarming.
april
tumultuous times
going vegan, pandemic
unbelievable
may
orange poppies blooming
strolling, giggling, joyful romps
cherishing, sparkling
june
tiny hands reach out
bump, bump, bump to the tea shop
her light fills my heart
july
comfy clothes, take-out
family, friends, birthdays, zoom
sunshine, celebrate
august
vacations are scrubbed
up, down, time moves fast then slow
fever is the norm
september
denver to philly
rest stops, masks, wash hands, repeat
daughter’s warm embrace
october
social distance hikes
mountaintops, sky, flora and
fauna. nature charms
november
hard to catch a breath
anxiety takes over
another heart thing
december
dark days at year’s end
twenty twenty one brings hope
sunny promises
