National Poetry Month, 2025. Day 11, Cascade

Waterfalls are soothing, inspiring, and sometimes triggering. Today’s post is brief. I wrote (and said) too much yesterday. Thanks for stopping by.

I love waterfalls. We’ve seen some beautiful ones in Hawaii, Colorado, and Minnesota.

The word for today’s poetry prompt is cascade. The haiku came easily today; I am awash in emotion.

Note: I would consider this a modern haiku because the first line does not adhere to the 7-syllable limit. I also wanted to let my readers know that I know.

    Hi Carol! I haven’t posted recently because I’m trying to move my blog. But I wanted to come around and visit. “Cascade” is a perfect word for what you are experiencing and trying to process. You describe their flow very poignantly. Sending a hug!

      Hi Tabatha! Thanks for stopping by in the midst of your “move.” I want to update my blog and move things around on it but probably will stick with WordPress. Are you moving platforms, too? Good luck with it – it’s always a lot of work! Thanks for the virtual hug!
