Hello, beautiful readers! This week, in the 24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, we have entered into the season of the Spring Equinox. We are experiencing longer days and are spending more time outdoors. Here in South Florida, I am loving the warmer weather. Our oceans still have chilly water, but it's more tolerable now. Our winds have kicked up as they always do in Spring. This week, we have had several days in the high 80s, and I've loved every minute of it.
I have had a very busy week (just like every other week...lol). At school, the students are getting ready for Spring Break, and their attention spans are waning. I've had something going on every afternoon, so I've had little time to do much, but I still managed to write a haiku for this week. My haiku has three lines with a syllabic pattern of 5-7-5. My kigo phrase is bolded and italicized.

Oh, I can't wait for us to have 26.7 degrees Celsius here in my part of the world. I don't need the beaches but the warmer weather. I am not a beach person. But I love your pic and you haiku.
ReplyDeleteI thought about you and your trip this morning. Sending you prayers and good wishes for a beautiful cruise. Take care.
Shalom shalom
Thanks, Pat! It looks like the weather will be beautiful for my cruise. I cannot wait to set sail! Thanks for visiting today. :-)
DeleteHey Yve. Selma here. I thought Florida is already paradise. You like it even warmer then. Oh my. You really love it hot. I m sure your cruise will be fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. You deserve this, teacher dear- Ms. Yvie. I bless you.
ReplyDeleteMarch. A wonderful Kigo about the month that’s soon coming to an end. Lovely poem, Yve. Bless you. And please take care. Xoxo. Selma.
Thank you, Selma! I do like very warm weather. I thrive in it. Thank you for your kind words and for visiting! :-)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Aishwarya! :-)
DeleteOh my, have a wonderful cruise, Yvette! I'm so happy for you. ❤️ And I love your haiku. I'd like to 'flock to the beaches' right now, but it would be a very long drive.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gwen! I am very blessed to have the beach just a half hour from where I live. I appreciate you stopping by! :-)
DeleteThe beach is always good, Kerfe! ;-) Thanks for visiting! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Spring Break!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mark! I have no doubt I will. :-)
DeleteI would love to flock where you are going. There's nothing like warm, lovely, cresting ocean beaches - a break from the cold. Lovely poem, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you! We had a wonderful trip! The weather was absolutely perfect, too! :-)
DeleteEnjoy your cruise, Yvette. Sounds like a well-deserved Spring break :). I had no idea Florida was already warm.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Smitha! We have an amazing cruise! Yes, Florida is already in the high 70s to mid-80s. :-)
Delete(Jules) Have a wonderful spring holiday. Around here the students don't generally have more than a day either side of a weekend - so when ours were younger - there really wasn't much we could do. Private schools have a little more time because of religious or other observances.
ReplyDeleteWe had quite a bit of rain yesterday - so the creek is high! But it isn't a place I'd swim in... I guess I'll have to go to the gym pool for that! ;)
Cheers!
That's interesting, Jules! We have always had a week off for Spring Break. It's a much needed break before all the testing begins. :-)
DeleteAwesome. Enjoy your cruise. It sounds amazing. Lovely haiku🧡💜🌸
