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

JANUARY Sky |
darkened sky— the small bird disappears inside a chimney |
|
FEBRUARY Death |
between gloved fingers— oil-slicked feathers still |
|
MARCH Flight |
steamy window— nose prints follow the shadow's flight |
|
APRIL Flowers |
out of order— on a small table daffodills bloom |
|
MAY Land |
chilled fingers— the park's flower beds freshly sowed |
|
JUNE New Life |
spring snow— the new plants wrapped in canvas |
|
JULY Animals |
varicoloured sunset— fuzzy baby swans follow the ripple |
|
AUGUST Time |
1:17 a.m. backhoes still digging |
|
SEPTEMBER Water |
sudden downpour— hot fudge trickles down her chin |
|
OCTOBER Loss |
missing— a tattered flag flaps from old army boots |
|
NOVEMBER Aquatic Life |
echoed laughter— his first catch flops over the side |
|
DECEMBER Family |
father-son day— mom helps bait his hook |
|
