February 2009 Haiku-Wrimo
1.
winter rain-
an old pot fills
with moonlight
2.
sunrise...
birdsong falling
from the mountain
3.
just in time
for the newborn-
snow flurries!
4.
gang signs
on the old church door...
winter deepens
5.
stillness...
a cloud
of white breath
6.
deep
in the raven's cry-
southern drawl
7.
midnight walk-
between each star
the cosmos
8.
resting awhile
on Issa's death poem-
the fly
9.
morning thaw-
the bulldog's growl
softens
10.
loneliness...
leek soup cold
in the crock pot
11.
crows

dusk
12.
one cloud
the shade of mango-
winter's end?

love
Imagine this, she said, for this is what it is to be in love. It is as if you have been tumbling down toward an open sea for your entire life and have only just discovered that you can fly.
And with that she pointed up to the grand cumulonimbus clouds above her head, to a deep expanse of blue, and I saw what must have been thousands of people with their arms wide, drifting on the currents of the wind.

One haiku per day for the month of February.
2nd: edited from
a flurry of flakes -
beneath thin ice
the colours of fish
to
horsetail stems
through thin ice
the colours of fish
6th: a placeholder that I jotted earlier. I don't have time to make sure I'm satisfied with what I upload right now so I may change it!
7th: I've featured snow a lot in my haiku lately which may seem a little over the top or unimaginative. However, where I live there is rarely any snow - in the last few days it's snowed more here than it has during the entirety of my life before it. So, snow's a rather more novel experience for me than for many others. (Although, thinking about MoyanII and KorpiHunaja's "Snow in Singapore", there are many others with far less experience of snow than me too!)
9th: I also thought about the following verions:
rain
exposes the lawn -
the snowman's remains
But I felt that "exposes" made it too clumsy. Any thoughts that you may have regarding this are welcome
11th: I'm not entirely sure if this works. Perhaps there isn't enough of a juxtaposition, or maybe it's too much of a run-on sentence. I can't make up my mind right now. Opinions?
12th: Alternate versions as follows:
not a cloud -
the glare
of the moon
---
not a cloud -
the moon
glaring
Which works better? or do none work - should the last two lines contain something more?
Also: I have a version of the radiator haiku without "I" in it. Not because I feel that I have to remove the "I", but just to compare the two.
the radiator's
thunk thunk thunk -
waking up
any thoughts on this?
19th: Edited from "the fir" to simply "fir".
23rd: Hythe in Kent, not Southampton
14th & 11th have been accepted by Riverbed Haiku journal and are featured in Riverbed Haiku Spring 2009 [link] (although my name is currently displayed with a typo that has it prefixed by "A." - hopefully I can get that changed!)
