April is Poem-A-Day Month for many poets. We take on a challenge to write a poem each day in April and share it (or not) with the world on our blogs.

Haiku Heights supports P-A-D Month, and for the haiku lovers, and supporters of this meme, will be offering a prompt every day in April.

A New Disguise

In Need Of A New Disguise

preparing for the day
unsteady hands apply the camouflage for the face
though not deftly placed
obvious ailments are masked


if only the makeup could extend the length of the body
concealing the disabilities

that scream
she
is
a
sick
person

there is no hiding that

Moonlight



splendour of the eve
amidst the clouds above us
gentle moonlight touch

gentle moonlight touch
hold me close in your caress
wrap me safely in

wrap me safely in
sheltered from the dark of night
splendour of the eve

Nature

A post for;  ABC Wednesday - H for Haiku, and Sensational Haiku Wednesday - nature.

at the water's edge
watching undulating waves
holding me spellbound

the gentle rhythm
lulling my senses softly
my gaze holds steady

looking out beyond
a memory for keeping
nourishes my soul

Rebirth




soft wind blow through me
gently lift my spirit high
soar beyond the clouds

in the up draught float
hovering above the realm
lofty dreams advance

hope wafts in the breeze
caresses the soul’s shadows
promising rebirth
