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.
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

Sixty degrees and thunder
begins this New Year's day. A CSX
freight blows for the crossing.

Not sure if I have the question mark in the right spot? You can corrected it, along any grammar goofs.

The early sunrise,
how it turns the hillside pink.
Does it shame the snow?
