I’m so thankful for the focus of writing haiku this month. It’s been a blessing. Thank you again (and again and again!) to Mary Lee Hahn for the invitation to write haiku daily in December with #haikuforhope. Here are my contributions for the past week.

Dec. 8th

within busy days
one may discover oneself
disappearing

Dec. 9th

in bitter winter
River shivers in her bed
ice shatters like crystal

December 10th

fading oak leaf
ignites at dawn
final blaze of glory

Dec. 11th

Full Moon Memory

the moon appliqued
intricate branches
onto indigo sky

December 12th

dizzy holidaze
life glides into focus
writing haiku

December  13th

on River’s skin
Winter’s icy winds etch
hieroglyphics

This week’s Poetry Friday Roundup is hosted by the warm and welcoming Laura Shovan at her blog. She’s sharing a snowy poem by Jona Colson that is full of beautiful words and  imagery.
