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
