#Vacation: “Keyboard Vacation Haiku,” by Wendy Greenley

Keyboard Vacation Haiku

By Wendy Greenley

Bon voyage.
Lizards dart between my sandy toes
while frogs sing love songs.

Inhale salt spray as
imagination wanders.
Write yourself there, too.

• Corey gets a letter from his brother in Japan.  For twelve years Corey was certain he was an only child.
• Cameroon is a country on the west coast of Africa.  There are many stories and many tales about the people who live in this ancient country.
