Spring Dreaming
A spring haiku comic explosion!
Hello, Petal Surfers!
Today’s post is packed with tons of haiku comics, and your email may only show part of it. For the best viewing experience, check it out on the web or the Substack app.
Spring is here, and I feel conflicted. Winter is when I take it easy, but I start to wake up in spring. Here in the Willamette Valley, we get a lot of dark and dreary days to go with our vibrant spring color explosion. Because of my horrific allergies, I tend to be like the weather this time of year, wildly swinging between intense, kinetic bouts of work and days of sleepy lethargy.
All of the changes that spring brings to the plants and animals make it a wonderful time to write haiku, and the bright colors make for some fun poetry comics.
Today, I’m sharing 20 of my favorite haiku comics from my two full-length haiku collections, Wild Divinity and Haiku Comics from the Anthropocene. These books are available everywhere, including the Weirdo Poetry Shop, where hardcovers are always on sale, and where I ship all over the world.
On Thursday, I’ll be sharing a bunch of brand new spring haiku comics and photos taken on my spring walk that inspired the comics. This will be a paywalled post.
I hope you enjoy these spring haiku comics. What does spring mean to you?
Thanks for reading!
Be the weird you want to see in the world!
Cheers,
Your haiku on the joy of nothing reminds me so much of the Sunday afternoon trips our family took more so to quench my dad’s desire to take an unfamiliar route just to see where it led. I inherited this trait from him and have never regretted it although now, without a vehicle at 77 (reflexes not quick enough), I have transferred this to my writing.
These haiku comics gave me a delightful noontime break. Thank you!
