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

Poet:
Linda Robeck
Region:
Northern Massachusetts, |

JANUARY Sky |
bare trees black against evening sky— sound of a train |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
snow forecast— a copy of father's death certificate |
|
MARCH Flight |
thawing ground— the satisfaction of leaving him |
|
APRIL Flowers |
my husband laid off again tulips everywhere |
|
MAY Land |
one hundred acres not nearly enough— SUVs |
|
JUNE New Life |
pulling weeds— discovering a cache of turtle eggs |
|
JULY Animals |
the dog's tail between his legs— fireworks |
|
AUGUST Time |
the first squash ready for picking— my watch runs down |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
finally the rain has given up— first day of school |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
letter from home— trees shedding the last of their leaves |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
refusing to eat the pet turkey after all— sushi dinner |
|
DECEMBER Family |
winter solstice my niece asks about midnight mass |
