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

Poet:

Region:
Northern Massachusetts, |
|
January |
pre-dawn light in the field's furrows a fresh crop of ice |
|
February |
morning light the whiteness of the evergreens |
|
March |
steady drizzle leafing through seed catalogs |
|
April |
gathering tulips the one with dragonflies left behind |
|
May |
last frost date trays of impatiens lined up on the porch |
|
June |
deep shade two dragonflies and I |
|
July |
freshly turned earth a honeybee hovers where clover bloomed |
|
August |
the cat looks out each door in turn heavy rain |
|
September |
autumn hills to the horizon drying hay |
|
October |
withered garden the age spots on her hands |
|
November |
news bulletin the hush when sleet turns to snow |
|
December |
winter day a cluster of seagulls in the last open water |
