Haiku for the twelve months of the year from around the world. |

Poet:

Region:
Egg Harbor City, New Jersey, |
|
JANUARY Sky |
snowdrift the smell of woodsmoke and the stars |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
snowbank a carcass brightens in the moonlight |
|
MARCH Flight |
spring dusk the cry of wild geese above the tollbooth |
|
APRIL Flowers |
daisies out of the gravel sunshower |
|
MAY Land |
terminal timber pilings bend with the ferry |
|
JUNE New Life |
sunshower a blood worm underfoot |
|
JULY Animals |
fireflies near honeysuckle dusk |
|
AUGUST Time |
the sun seaweed floating near the shore |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
new sidewalk the footprints of a squirrel fill with rain |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
morning light two beetles dying at the door |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
trout an arch of sunlight dripping |
|
DECEMBER Family |
winter pond an old man staring back at a child |
