More of the April Haiku. I had planned to post this on the 20th (its being a round number), but life happens... Anyway, here are my latest and greatest (and not-so-greatest).
April 12 - an accomplishment
This haiku describes a bit of music for trumpet. The music is the prelude to Domenico Zipoli's Suite in F Major. I first heard this in the early 1980s, on an LP I bought through a record-of-the-month club. The version I have now is on a CD, "Concertos pour trompette," and is played by Maurice André.
That trumpeter’s song - the notes climb high, higher, while my heart holds its breath.
Here's a recording of that Prelude - enjoy!
April 13 - when you feel most alive
Simple food, cooked for friends and family. We eat and enjoy together.
April 14 - grief
I long to chat with Mom again, share that funny story, fix the past.
April 15 - a place you feel safe @HumanHaiku shared this one. It's one of my favorites, too.
This home is kindness and love, trust and acceptance. Here, come as you are.
April 16 - something you love about yourself
I’ve learned the folly of impatience. Wait and watch are better signposts.
April 17 - an emotion you've felt today Easter Sunday
His disciples shared Sorrow, Amazement, and Joy. Today, we sing Hope.
April 18 - what's happening in the world Woke up to a news report of multiple shootings over the weekend
More shootings today. Ten people, nine, ten more— But guns will protect us.
April 19 - what inspires you @HumanHaiku shared this one, too.
Some ideas don’t come til you begin, til you just put pen to paper.
April 20 - fear
Meeting the stranger, you’re cautious — but be assured: Love can displace fear.
April 21 - where you want to escape to
In the woods, safe from weather, a quiet spot to read, paths to wander
April 22 - an influential person in your life I remember doing math homework with my dad. He kept observing that I needed to write my numbers more neatly, or I'd add the wrong columns and get invalid results. I recently was tutoring a student in math, and found myself encouraging him to write his numbers more neatly...
He put worms on hooks, wanted tidy math papers, loved with kind patience.
Eight more days...!
