Three years ago, Andrew told me there is a tradition of writing a 'positive' haiku on the first day of the year. So I wrote one, and it became a collaborative poem dance. I forgot in 2006. We did one here at Watermark again last year, but I was late, and lax, and it was brief.
This year, folks are landing here again from searches for new year haiku, and I'm being much more consistent in my posting, so I decided to start early with a reminder to you all: the Watermark New Year Haiku Collaborative Poem Dance will appear here again this year, on January 1, 2008. That's Tuesday!
I'll put the post up early Tuesday morning, and 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 -- including American Sentences.
Here is a not-so-positive haiku, to send this year out:
year's end -
the cat box full
of old shit

New year's day sunshine
brims with anticipation.
Can we hold the joy?
