#Haiku Saturday #Haiku

#NationalPoetryMonth brings a 1st- I'm 1 of the guest judges for the West Side Campaign Against Hunger's Poetry & Essay Contest! The submissions are from students in NYC, who are ready to battle hunger, 1 poem at a time! The poems are in, & I'm ready to savor every syllable! 📖
