April showers
coming down by buckets full
in May
blackberries
white blossoms disguising
sharp thorns
blackberries
white blossoms predict
cold snap
small birds
clustered on feeder
brilliant yellow
large poplar trees
reaching skyward wearing
yellow flowers
new growth
springing out of cold ground
bamboo shoots
brilliant morning
radiant golden sunrise
hidden by clouds
Paulownia tree
sweet scented purple flowers
washed away by rain
wild flowers
glowing in verdant grass
after rain
hybrid iris
giant exotic blossoms
rain shattered

Dear Ms. Leon,
I like your Haiku poetry. Much, much better than my third grade attempt, which I won't scare you with. :o)
My name is Jill Randolph and I work with CityTownInfo.com, a website providing over 50,000 reference pages of real-world information on careers, communities, and colleges to our 10 million annual visitors.
I was reviewing your blog and wanted to let you know that we have just released a free 64-page e-book we think you and your visitors may find interesting. An article published Thursday provides additional information as well as commentary from a fellow webmaster and blogger who has linked to the e-book. Additionally, we issued a press release Friday, to help increase awareness. Our e-book provides a candid, real-world perspective on the elementary teaching profession via interviews with 25 teachers from grades 1 through 5, across a variety of disciplines including reading specialists, PE, and music teachers, to name a few. The book offers advice, tips, best and worst parts of the job, as well as words of wisdom, inspiration and caution from working teachers. One quote from the book:
"Many people think that because the school day ends at 3 PM teachers just leave, but, the truth is, we stay late and often put in more than an eight-hour day. Almost always we take work home with us. Yes, we do have summers off, but we are constantly thinking about the school year to come and working on our skills."
Yours is one of the very first blogs we are reaching out to, so that you may share this relevant information with your visitors. We hope you’ll take a bit of time to review the book – it’s a fairly quick read – and then consider passing along your thoughts to your readers. We can provide you with cover art images in various sizes if you would like and we recommend linking to the page containing the eBook (http://www.citytowninfo.com/employment/elementary-school-teachers).
Thank you for your time and consideration. If I can answer any questions you may have, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jill Randolph
