Star Wars Day //May 4th
Day that I was born at home
War over // I cried
No fireworks //no booming guns
Mom smiled as family gathered
****************************************************************
Our Hiakia challenge from Frank Tassone is to write a Haiku or one of the forms to write a poem from three choices. I chose Starwars Day (May 4). I was a baby boomer child born after the end of WW II. The family doctor came to our house to deliver me. I was number four or five children. This is my Tanka about that day.

I too am a late baby boomer. I’ve always considered myself a misfit of the 1960’s too young to understand that current conflict, yet I had to mature early because of other family issues.
Belated natal greetings 🙂
