haiku for the year


spring

the crocus shoots push
up through the warming soil
straining for the sun.




summer

crickets sing loudly
in the sweet honeysuckle
through the brief, still night.




autumn

Persephone's fruit;
slowly sucking sweet pulp
from pomegranate seeds.




winter

the sun carves a path
slowly across the carpet
as the day slips by.
