Poetry for April

I am committed to writing one poem a day for the month of April. I have been posting on Facebook, but have decided to post here instead. So here are the first five. I thought maybe I wasn't supposed to name them, so that is why the names changed. Anyone know about that? Anyone? Anyone?

1. Sign of Spring

March winds have no bite.
Winter has finally fled.
Green leaves rise with the sun.


2. Fresh

Red, ripe strawberry,
Sweet as a warm summer day
Awakens the mind.


3. Haiku 3

Raw, rainy day.
Wind gusts whip my umbrella
in all directions.


4. Haiku #4

Winter's bite returns.
The air is cold and bitter.
Where is the sunshine?


5. Brains at Work

Teacher and student
bend to the task of writing.
Imagination.
