OK, it's time to throw a little party , being halfway throuigh this little adventure in wordsmithing!!!! Cool, huh? Oh, and let's all sing happy birthday to my mom - she's a cool lady, and is having a pretty neat day from what I can gather, having spoken to her earlier. Mega-props to my sister, who sent her a flower bouquet!! And if any of you know her and sent her an email because of this, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Also, today is TAX day...yep, so for all who haven't filed yet, the post office is open late, JUST FOR YOU! But since the Man is taxin' everybody's money, I'm not going to tax you too much here. That's right, it's Haiku day here at Poetry Central, and so we'll experiment to day with at least one, hopefully about four of them. Why four?? Well, Adam can guess it, I know....and my mother and wife can get it if they think about it...the rest of you won;t have as much luck...sorry...
Springtime flowers bloom,
unending colors by day;
Rains make it all grey.
Moonbeams dance in fields,
"Fairies, skip hence!" says the Bard,
None believe in them.
Hinds dance in the fall,
as Autumn leaves turn orange;
Blood flows slowly down.
Cold and death prevail.
joy and merriment abound;
Winter's chill lasts not.
OK, OK, it followed a seasonal thing, yeah, yeah...I knew you;d get it. Nope. I will reveal the secret of the number four.....some other day and time. But for now, I shall leave you all a-wondering!!! What, I've gotta keep you coming back somehow!!
Thanks for reading.

LOL! Your second haiku looks like the result of a writing prompt titled: "summarize Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in haiku format." Interesting usage of "grey" (vs. "gray"). I prefer this spelling myself, but spellcheckers don't seem to want to let me use it. I think I like the fourth haiki the best out of them all, and the third the least, just because it feels a little awkward, as if all the right pieces are there but aren't in the right order. Like Jenga, but with words.
