Dinner with best friends
Such a normal thing to do
And yet so strange
In wet summer air
How to judge humidity:
How damp is the mask
Early dog walkers
Smiling at me with their eyes.
My glasses fogged up.
Three haiku from the 31 Haiku for July series, pulled for the dverse prompt of 7/30/20: a haiku set.
The final week of July haiku will post tomorrow.

Really vivid and visual writing. Lovely take on the prompt. I enjoyed reading it!
Thank you! Haiku’s probably my favorite form, mostly because I suck at couplets, my next favorite.
Covid moments, so aptly written! You speak for us all!
Nice one
Much✏love
Well done haiku sequence.

You capture the strangeness of these pandemic times perfectly! Well done!
Your Covid-ku hit the mark for me, Xan! I’m allowed out tomorrow for the first time since 13th March, and dinner with friends will indeed be strange, as will wearing a mask and seeing other people in masks. The last haiku resonated with me – my glasses fog up all the time!
I went on public trans for the first time since early March. (don’t have a car and I had to go too far to bike). Absolutely surreal.

I so relate to this wonderful, realistic haiku sequence!
Wonderful. Thank you! (see the whole Plague series by clicking the tag)
Well done!
This is a nice portrayal of these times
Thank you, Ken! I keep wondering how I ended up in this movie.
I can identify with all of them. (K)
“Early dog walkers, Smiling at me with their eyes.
My glasses fogged up…” I loved the imagery of smiling with their eyes. I’ve noticed that I have to speak more often now with a mask on. Perfect sequence. ❤
