tree buds to blossoms -
the awakening, the birth,
of this time of year.
... and occasional Tanka... and Haibun. Started after a competition on the unbound.co.uk blog (see #1 and #2). Mostly actually senryu , I think. This year attempting to publish a Haiku every day - 365 Haiku a Day. For good or for ill, I always aim to stick rigidly to a 5-7-5 structure - forgive me if I have counted the syllables wrong, often they are how I have said, or thought, them in my head rather than their official number.
when the air is cold,
your face feels like a fridge and
your fingers ice poles:
do not despair and shed tears,
find the one who’ll give you warmth.
