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

JANUARY Sky |
wild geese scream far away in the sky inside, a sick-bed |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
the house threshold is covered up by wrinkled leaves— father is at death's door |
|
MARCH Flight |
from the wet small branch a bird flies off to the sky— rain drops behind it |
|
APRIL Flowers |
moon drops into river— silverly water lily in a deep sleep |
|
MAY Land |
gloomy sky hung over waste land— ravens here and there |
|
JUNE New Life |
she doesn't know speak— but I know all her: "A coo, a boo, a coo ...!" |
|
JULY Animals |
carried by the flow through the tin gutter a shiftless ant |
|
AUGUST Time |
sleepless night— city lights are passing away through the train window |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
not swan lake— a flock of geese slowly comes into the water |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
funeral procession the second this week autumn rain |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
shadow of the bridge is covered with fallen leaves— late Danube autumn |
|
DECEMBER Family |
Christmas Eve petards— puppy runs into the house before guests |
