Baby Haiku: #TankaTuesday

24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry Challenge, No. 18, 1/23/24, Part I, Deep Cold (January 20 – February 2) Daikan 大寒

For this week’s haiku I used “bleached grasses” for a kigo.

the bleached grasses

wave in a joyful welcome

to my new grandson

Now you can tell me how adorable he is :)!!!!

UPDATE: I have switched out the baby’s photo with this one of me holding him because I don’t want his photo floating all over the internet. So hopefully it will go away from any searches soon.

    • Sheila, thank you!!!! We haven’t brought him around Perry quite yet as he only got home today fro the hospital. But Perry was told 3 times to stay out of the baby’s bassinet, and I am seeing a little confused jealousy when he looks at me as if to say, “But I’m the baby!!!” hahaha
