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

JANUARY Sky |
the air is bad four months after 911 souls still leaving bodies |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
my young father's death turns you into a stranger all your life, Mother |
|
MARCH Flight |
the Goshawk flies east to perch over the white house dinner-time |
|
APRIL Flowers |
sunrise caught in the tulip cup |
|
MAY Land |
shore-line silhouettes like plates we once made back in school |
|
JUNE New Life |
these birds don't migrate flying to the attic instant nursery |
|
JULY Animals |
the pigeon cocks a red eye hangover |
|
AUGUST Time |
we tell time on this Island by the waves |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
whitecap-strewn Sound shelters what haunts our dreams |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
mother's funeral bright sun falling petals |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
footless carnivores ~ Cnidaria dance on the ocean floor |
|
DECEMBER Family |
both grandfathers left aunts and uncles shut their doors mother a widow |
