100 haiku challenge, 49 and 50!

I shared some of my haiku at writers' workshop this week. One person suggested I start giving them titles.

You're up early to write too?

My neighbor Will walks
by, early Saturday morn,
writing on his brain.

Welcome to May
Azalea blooms pop!
Magenta star-bursts unfold
like party favors.

100 haiku challenge, 48

Allergy season, part 2
Whole world in my eye
Grit, sandbox, dump truck of dirt,
rock chip, in my eye.

100 haiku challenge, 47

I think I like B better.

Why bike boulevards should be closed to cars
Variation A
Honkin' Cadillac
barreling down the bike route
Get out of the way!

Variation B

Honkin' Cadillac
barreling down the bike route
no stops attract goons

100 haiku challenge, 46

Allergy season, part 1
My eye is bloodshot.
The left one, rivers of red.
The right eye, still clear.
