A couple of 'Haiku for the Road,' February 2024


storm days –

roads impassable

still don’t see

the end of the road, but

it narrows




Both written 25 February 2024, but posting delayed until NaHaiWriMo 2024 finished.


'Haiku for the Road' is a facebook group administered by Tad Wojnicki – inspired by Jack Kerouac, and also encompassing 'the road of life.'
