Adventure

 This is the first year since 2018 that I am not participating in the A to Z challenge. This is not an April Fool's joke.  I decided last year that I was going to take a sabbatical from one if not my most favorite blogging events.  I do plan to participate as a reader and commenter of other participating blogs.


April is also National Poetry Month, and this year I do plan to write some poems and publish them here.  I will even try to have the poem titles match the A to Z letter of the day.  To that end, I will now shre two haikus I wrote today on the back end of a impromptu road trip I took from Chicago area to St. Louis area and back today.  One is appropriately called Adventure

Adventure

Roads of adventure

Trees lay barren, friendship blooms

Memories echo


Here's the so far untitled other haiku

Lights from wind turbines

Silent thunder of crickets

Dusk train slumbers on


Since today is also Wednesday.  I thought I'd slip in one of my kid's favorite songs when growing up Adventure is A wonderful Thing from Winnie The Pooh's Grand Adventure as part of Midweek Music Break.
