Celebrate National Haiku Day with Duck Prints Press!

To celebrate National Haiku Day (today, April 17, 2023!) we invited Press contributors to write haiku! Ultimately, three people wrote 10 poems. Enjoy…

Forget-me-nots bloom,
a happy riot of blue
sweeping through the green.

by theirprofoundbond

Noise unrelenting,
then nighttime blankets the house
and, at last, quiet.

by Nina Waters

Lacelike white blossoms
are bursting from the plum tree:
fragrant fireworks.

by theirprofoundbond

Rain falls on my skin,
Lingers on my lips – your kiss…
Regret tastes of spring.

by Tris Lawrence

Working together,
a pair of sleek black jackdaws
build a brand new nest.

by theirprofoundbond

I fell one spring morn
I drowned and breathed you in so
I could live anew.

by Tris Lawrence

Little slime on my ranch,
please eat more cubberies
and make many plorts.

by Nina Waters

The robin sings like
a lovely jewel brought to life,
flitting through the trees.

by theirprofoundbond

Finally after
I read seven hundred pages
these morons have kissed.

by Nina Waters

Some simple magic:
A frost-sparkled spider’s web
glitters at sunrise.
