Andrea Dietrich Poet Free verse

A Red Summer Day

along the lane
my friends and I
pick raspberries. . . 
as robins chatter

we head back home -
with red pails filled . . .
sun - now crimson
saturates the sky

Matthew Anish September 5, 2019 at 12:25 PM Sweet nature poetry here - but I don't think I would call it haiku. American poetry haiku are usually 5 7 5. There is an excellent book - Haiku from the NY Times which is worth reading. Peace & Love Matthew Anish Andrea Dietrich September 5, 2019 at 8:26 PM Matt after all these years, You do not realize that many of us are doing challenges for which we are told to enter the poems as haiku because the form is "invented" and is not listed in the titles given us?? Look what i wrote underneath my poem!!
