NaPoWriMo 11, 12 and 13: Pandemic Spring, Haiku, Tanka

[alycewilson]

I got a bit behind on my National Poetry Writing Month one-poem-a-day challenge, so here are three! The first is a poem inspired by spring, and the second and third are a haiku and a tanka. You can read the corresponding prompts from my literary magazine, Wild Violet, here: NAPOWRIMO 2020 - Prompt 11 and NAPOWRIMO 2020 - Prompts 12 and 13.

You all had tornadoes too?

Well, we had a tornado warning. Not sure it actually touched down anywhere near us. You had one today? It was all up the East Coast.

Last Thursday. About five minutes from my house. The tree damage was awful. We were lucky.

Wow! Glad it skipped you.
