New Year Haiku 2012

  

 

      

It's time for the Watermark New Year Haiku Collaborative Poem Dance! You are invited to add your haiku in the comments, or you can email it to me at blogdivaATsbpoetDOTcom (link at the bottom of the sidebar.)  Include a link to your site if you have one. Over the following few days, I'll pull the poems up into the post. Any haiku form is welcome.

Comments are currently moderated, which I don't usually do, but comment spam has been really bad the past weeks. Let's hope that improves with the new year. 

I'll add my haiku when I have one, and this post will stay at the top of Watermark into the New Year. 

 

 

 

Shadows of day lengthen
Night is yawning awake
Yet Cicadas sleep soundly

no falling snow
melt of  the snowman

hugs and New Year wishes -
the empty car park

[Note: the format on the older posts, below, got very strange when I redesigned Watermark last week. If I have the energy, I'll go back in and redo them. But no promises. And the new posts won't look like that.]

New Year Haiku 2011 - Come Play!

 

 

It's time for the Watermark New Year Haiku Collaborative Poem Dance! I try to do this every year, but don't always make it. This year I've been reminded by many folks getting here via New Year Haiku searches, and by the first contribution.

You are invited to add your haiku in the comments, or you can email it to me at blogdiva AT sbpoet DOT com. Include a link to your site if you have one. Over the following few days, I'll pull the poems up into the post. Any haiku form is welcome.

I'll leave this post at the top into the New Year; I don't have my haiku yet, but here is our first offer for 02011:

My plan for a new year

Tis that time to look
Inside, and stretch up and out
Imagine, and do

~ Howard Dubowitz

 

sweeping the threshold | a new broom 

~ sb

 

"Next year will be different"--
watching others party
on TV

~ Dave

 

New Year's Eve--
so pleased my balled-up tissue
makes the waste basket

~ Dave

 

Ah, the new year -

Is it, blessed or cursed?
Unknown until, the restless days
are spent -

like a night of love.

~ Cathy

 

 

At midnight fireworks explode
dogs bark then settle
geese pass honking overhead.

~ Kate Fern

 

new year's morning
a hawk takes a sparrow
from the feeder

~ sb

 

 

one one and one one
seem to say 'new beginning'
at least i hope so

~ jenett

   

 

He comes back
from a season's fishing
sleek as a seal.

~ Cindy

 

However it ends,
it begins with a kiss and
a wish for the best.

~ Jennifer Simon

 

winter morning, new year
black dog shakes snow from her back
the snow keeps falling

~ Susan Butler
