Mo Daley of Illinois is our host today at http://www.ethicalela.com for the 14th day of VerseLove. She inspires us to write haiku poems of three lines with a 17-syllable count about tax day, tomorrow. You can read her full prompt here. My One Little Word comes to mind today regarding taxes: Onward! They’re unavoidable. We pay them, we cringe, we brush our hands, and we move on to the next thing. Enough said.

Love the rhyme! Taxes are a real pain. I guess we’re all kind of in it together, so there’s that. 😦 On a bright note, poetry can even make tax season a tiny bit more tolerable.
