My favorite coworker at the library, who has also worked as a nature educator, created a haiku challenge for #NationalPoetryMonth. She‘s provided photo inspiration (complete with ID). I chose the pictured and tried my hand:

Delicate flower
I am not. Instead, call me
a sensitive fern.

If this is the kind of nerdy wordiness that appeals to you, I‘m sure she‘d be thrilled to have more entries!

Bookwormjillk I love it! 7mo

monalyisha @Bookwormjillk The more I learned about sensitive ferns, the more I felt correct in my assertion: e.g. “The name comes from its sensitivity to frost, the fronds dying quickly when first touched by it.” Girl, same. 😂🥶😅 7mo

Bookwormjillk @monalyisha 🤣🤣🤣 7mo

Hey @stuck.in.the.stacks since you‘re SO GOOD at solving #BOTM clues can you guess any of these Audible Daily Deals????Anyone else care to offer a guess???? 🤓🙏🏻🕵️‍♀️

Sace Oh my. Those are tough. I couldn't hazard a guess for any of them. 5y

Cinfhen I‘m thinking @Sace Day 3 might be David Sedaris and Day 8 might be a book by Yuval Noah Harari (edited) 5y

ljuliel I‘m guessing the last day might be that book about the video game ? I can‘t think of the name if it. It was really popular for a long time and a super thick book. Is this it

ljuliel Day 7 might be

Sometimes I Lie

Cinfhen I think Day 12 is this one @ljuliel

Ready Player One

Cinfhen I would be happy if Day 7 was your guess @ljuliel 🤗 5y

ljuliel That‘s it ! I couldn‘t remember the name of that book. I‘ve never read it but know it was popular and very thick . Thanks for the answer 5y

Cinfhen I feel for the hype and read it @ljuliel but it wasn‘t my cup of tea 🙄 5y

ljuliel I‘ve sorta thought the same thing regarding that book. I know lots of people loved it but the subject didn‘t sound like anything I‘d be interested in . 5y

stuck.in.the.stacks Wow those super vague. I'll to think about these. 😅 5y

Cinfhen Ha, thought if anyone could decode these @stuck.in.the.stacks it would be you 😘no pressure, of course! 5y
