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

January |
January sun the mynah's beak deep in a fig |
|
February |
lake edge... the toddler leans forward to watch a waterstrider |
|
March |
a day without clouds the wind shakes butterflies from a bramble bush |
|
April |
library steps an autumn leaf drops from a book |
|
May |
raindrops bead along the branches— winter sun |
|
June |
winter fog a spider web dissolves in the wind |
|
July |
midnight chill a shooting star streaks toward rooftops |
|
August |
hazy morning the old peach tree breaks into blossom |
|
September |
new leaves... a breeze moves from tree to tree |
|
October |
fragrant night the yellow moon above a thorn tree |
|
November |
late-afternoon the wind changes color through fields of grass |
|
December |
twilight moon two fishermen share a flask |
