her kitchen light already
warming the window.

Beside the tulips,
her garden gloves keep the shape

How to choose and use a poem
Choose for the real moment
A haiku works best as a precise moment rather than a compressed greeting-card slogan. Choose the image that feels most recognizable.
Read it aloud first
A poem can look right on a screen and feel wrong in the mouth. Read your shortlist aloud, notice where the voice catches, and choose the piece that sounds like something you could honestly give or say.
Keep the context intact
Use the original byline and link when sharing. For a public service, program, classroom, or publication, check the usage note and preserve the poem's line breaks.
