New Year Haiku

Andrew tells us there is a tradition of writing a 'positive' haiku on the first day of the year.  His is here, and Jill has joined in here.  Mine is below; if you would like to add yours to the comments, I'll bring it up for a New Year's poem dance.

frozen garden --
     scattered on snow
          seed for the birds

from  Sarpy Sam:

Seasons turn around
  Sun,snow streaks the air abound
    Friends, like grass arise

from  mjones:

Voice flutes from below,
shutting out the wind. I think:
He'll be four this year.

from  whiskey:

Resolutions? No.
I have promises to keep
and miles, miles to go.

from   Alice:

the past is written
clean new page, fresh ink to write
what comes after this

from  Ken:

Cymbals bright and pure
Bounce off players singing horns
Musicians' New Year

from   Dave:

this one; and

To what shall I liken
this New Year's, warm and brown?
It happens, that's all.

 

from   Cathy:

New day-
leave the paper

white

from  Cindy:

Nearly flash-frozen
on the beach: north wind gusts down
Gastineau Channel.

from   jenett:

Come in from the rain
Reinvent and try again
New without the pain

[ok, liberties with Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", but, it's still true.]

(Not a haiku, and not current, but the will to participate - however ineptly - was there.)
