The early mornings inspire poetry. I sit quietly for a time. Today I looked for poems about the stars in my archives.
stars in the night
and colors
of garden mums
in the rain . . .
new poems begin
night sky
seeing stars
through leaves
short days
stars brighten
winter sky
the same poems
for the rest of my life
stars and tree branches
another sunrise
Haiku Lesson Note:
Our Haiku Awareness Plan for Grades 3 – 4 at The Haiku Foundation features a beautiful haiku about the prairie and stars by Billie Wilson.
As stated in the lesson, “For this Haiku Awareness plan, we feature haiku from the anthology, Montage: The Book, created and edited by Allan Burns (Winchester, VA: The Haiku Foundation, 2010, 2012).”

I wrote this poem in May, 2014. I was at Target in Kohler, Wisconsin. This year, I wrote a shorter version of the poem. I like both versions.
