haiku abude

Saturday morning
rooster crows to raise the sun
sad to say farewell

   Today's haiku is an aubade.  A morning poem.  Can you write your own poem to praise the morning?
   Another special occasion poem is the epithalamium, a poem written on the occasion of someone's wedding.  Do you have a special occasion coming up--Mother's Day, a birthday, last day of school, teacher appreciation day.  If you wrote a poem for the person you want to honor, that would be an occasional poem.  Try writing an occasional poem for your mom on the occasion of Mother's Day.  Have fun.
