Quarantine drags on.
I slouch from pillar to post.
We all need hobbies.

Flowers she grew
Chrysalis stayed in place
Wings danced all around her

Haiku are fun! Remember it is 1st line 5 syllables (not words-you have to break words to sylb)
2nd line 7 sylb, 3rd line 5 sylb
They are usually 1...observing something, 2... adding to the picture 3... reflecting on the glimpse of enlightenment you've had. Can be funny,angry rude, sad etc.
Looking at casi's... Line 1 Only 4 sylb.. Flow/ers she grew. Put 1 sybl word...bright, rare. sweet etc .to make 5 sbl.
2nd line needs "The" at the beginning of the line to make the 7 sybl
3rd line is magic but a/round is 2 sbl so if you cut out "all" you get the 5 sbl and not lose the beauty.
SO...
Sweet flowers she grew
The chrysalis stayed in place
Wings danced around her.

3 months of spring lost.
We are pale indoor creatures.
Dare we venture out?

Paris is open.
Same old place, nothing new here.
I guess it'll do.

Yawn like a hippo...
And it's just gone ten am. Coffee for one? Here!
Three kids saunter past,
I wish they could stop and chat. Isolation sucks
Now the buck stops where?
Too many deaths, no supplies, Inept President

Thank you for the considerate rewrite/edit Questa.
At the window stood
Wife, mother, grandmother, friend
Now, only her gaze.
All just in one day
We found ourselves in a phase
Where to go from here?

The great Cathedral
Trapped behind strong iron bars
Yearns for freedom too.
She wants freedom from
Those ancient superstitions
of fear and power.
Five years to repair?
More like fifty, said the man.
and the funds rolled in.
Each night in Paris
Homeless people sleeping rough.
Children beg for food.

From my son...
The cat on my lap
Can make this house feel like home.
Occasionally.
Procrastination
Oh how haiku takes your form
When work does beckon

Started in China
Moved with Zen monks to Japan
Follows strict pattern.
Concise thought is the goal.
Words should flow like soft water-
Nothing should be forced

Many violets are blue.
Bruises can be both.

Hair so long and soft."
