Keyboards clicking fast

Wednesday's stress melts away now

Counting syllables

.

Coffee grows too cold

Lost in counting syllables

Meetings forgotten

.

Colleagues share their lines

Laughter echoes through the hall

Workload feels lighter

.

Five, seven, then five

Transforming mundane Wednesdays

Into verse parties

.

Deadline approaching

Yet here we craft tiny poems

Boss rolls his eyes—wait!

.

Hump Day to Haiku

Midweek metamorphosis

Work becomes wordplay

So much fun! 🎉✨👯‍♀️🥳🎭🎪

You're very welcome! I'm glad you're looking forward to taking part, and that's a fantastic piece of Haiku. I particularly love the way things end on a rhyme. That finishes it off beautifully... 🏯😎🏯

Launching into Spring

I soar, I fly, nature sings

Death has lost its sting.

Warm summer rain beats

Peltering the haunting shores

Keeping earth upbeat.

Count me in. I just love haiku.

Great image. If you want something else, let me know. Otherwise, I think that really works and is eye-catching. Looking forward to this event. I love doing haikus.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the Artwork. I've even discovered a little emoji that goes nicely with it, too! Haha! It's been a really lovely start to things so far, and there's quite a few brilliantly creative Comments here already, that are cleverly presented in the Haiku style. My next Post will be the first Prompt. I'm looking forward to it all, as well. It's going to be a lot of fun... 🏯😎🏯

Too bad for jokesters,

April first is on Tuesday.

No Haikus for fools. 😥

In the event that

Death does not come in my life

My spirit has flown

I know this is way past its due date, but that is what happens when one works backwards through their inbox. More than prompt, to me they are more impromptu flashes of inspiration that I put down as they pop into my mind.
