My goal is to write one haiku per day this year, starting on the day before the inauguration. It is meant to be both inspiration and distraction. We’ll see how long it lasts.
Unable to choose
Between rain and snow, the sky
Darkens now, and waits
###
Luminous, bright moon
Woke me early to show off
Shadows in new snow
###
Just for a moment,
Sunlight turns icy branches
into strands of gold
###
How do I explain
The pleasure of seeing small
Bird tracks in the snow?
###
Hard work for the birds
To wrestle seeds from dried cones
now covered in snow
###
A small bird calls us
To melt the snow for her bath.
Wait for the sun, dear wren!
