You know me. Whenever I post the haiku postcards from the previous week, I try to write something clever and witty or at least thought-provoking. If it relates somehow to haiku, all the better.
But we’re still catching up on our lives after our trip to Brazil, and I’m already behind a week. So here are 14-count-em-14 haiku from the previous two weeks.
Next week, I’ll have my clever/witty/interesting mojo working, I swear!

blink into being
Nicely done, all of them! And thanks for sending my mom a postcard. She loved it!
