Sheltering In Place Haiku

Are you noticing the small, ordinary things in your life more, now that you are quarantined at home? I know I am. Plus it's so quiet. I am hearing more as well. I decided this was a good time to try writing haiku again. I haven't done it in years.

Thinking I could use a bit of a refresher course,  I pulled out the three haiku books I brought with me to Mexico. I planned on writing a lot of haiku. Three and a half years here and the above is my first. Now maybe it's I'm quiet enough to bring haiku back into my life.

What about you? Do you haiku?
