Haiku and Monkey

In his pursuit of poetry, Steven Riddle has moved on to haiku, which is one form of poetry that I always have admired.

I share this admiration with Monkey who celebrated April as National Poetry Month although I neglected to share any of this with y'all. Always the artist with prose, as anyone could tell from reading this delicate tale of composing a Pannetone Bread Pudding, Monkey also is an spontaneous composer of haiku as when during a pause in making Limeade, this came forth:

refreshing limeade
dancing over cool ice cubes
nectar of the gods.

Is it any wonder that Monkey's friends respond in kind?

joy envelopes me
reading erudite monkey
my soul is lifted

Truly inspirational.
