National Haiku Writing Month has been founded by the well known haiku poet Michael Dylan Welch. The goal is to write at least one haiku a day. National Haiku Writing Month is in its 13th year. [1]
I enjoy writing to the prompts on Facebook. These are haiku of the second half of March 2023 [2].

your pie
not calculated with pi
tastes so good

opening eyes
after a short nap
suddenly spring

sipping kir royal
and working on her tan
no, not my mom

to save Ford Perfect
from Vogon poetry

in between

lunch in the lounge

snow covering

not my telephone
it's Anita Ward

mingling with the mist
squirrels breakfast, too

blow your horns and pipes

they don't write books
as they used to -
get used to it

the book at the station
full of dreams
placed, not forgotten
~ book
applause, applause
you walk the earth
and she doesn't notice
~ compliment
