Haiku Friday: Congratulations!
I love Spring.
For one thing, it is a time of graduations, one of the rare opportunities to celebrate those we love. Better than a funeral (for the person being celebrated, at least), different than a wedding, it is fit to this season of growth and renewal.
Tomorrow is our graduation here at St. Thomas, and I have been given the honor (by my new students here), of being the "hooder"-- the person who puts the hood on each graduate. For one thing, I will get to wear this again at a time of such joy. Better, though, is the chance to meet the parents and families of these amazing people I have gotten to know over the past year. I love that part.
So, today, let's haiku about celebration. It can be graduation, current or remembered, or some other accomplishment among those around you. Make the first line 5-7 syllables, the second line 6-8, and the third line 5-7.
Here is mine. It is kind of about what I saw in my yard this week, and kind of not:
I didn't plant these tulips,
I just got to watch them spring forth.
Now I meet the gardeners.
Now it is your turn...

Spring of ninety five
I walked with my secret friend
Nestled safe inside.
Beautiful baby boy
Is so much more important
Than that Ph. D.
