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.
Oh, the sun is out
And the wind has finally stopped.
Welcome day of rest.
###
Hope springs eternal,
So they say. And I, for one,
Cannot wait for spring.
###
First groundhog spotted
Across the yard, still wearing
His thick winter coat
###
Yesterday just one.
Today, dozens of crocus
Line the road and yard
Beneath tangled logs
At garden’s edge, the fox is
waiting to give birth
###
Dull sky and good sleep
Prevented me from watching
The blood moon eclipse
###
In last year’s nest are
Tiny, delicate feathers
From chicks gone and grown.
