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
New Year’s eve
no falling snow
melt of the snowman
~ Gennady Nov
old friends
hugs and New Year wishes -
the empty car park
between change
and more
change
~ Deb
last year's moon
waning near the horizon
a new dawn
turtle trophy
New Year resolutions
that don't atrophy:)
new year -
the green cordwood
checked with spider webs
~ Susan Murata
waiting on the moon
to bask in the sun
new year
~ Alee Imperial Albano
new year
the path to the henhouse
how full of expectation!
~ Susan Murata
crocodile dreams
no rain this winter day
last box still to pack
~ Sharon Ryals Tamm
another year
another
letting go
~ sbpoet
cinematic noir
new year’s day a smudge of ink
writing with no lamp
~ bobbi lurie
New Year's Eve --
trying the perfume
my mother used to wear
~ Erin Bow
[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.]
