A Year in Haiku

06/10/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



        I

The new year rolls in

Resolutions freshly made

Soon to be cast off



        II

Hot summer kisses

As I run across the sand

On bare burning feet



        III

Autumn falls slowly

Summer lingers far too long

I don’t like the heat



        IV

Easter brings me joy

In days spent with family

And much chocolate



        V

Weather cools more now

The leaves turn on the branches

And life is better



        VI

A nip in the air

Is more consistent outside

And night falls early



        VII

The snow is falling

Up in the mountain ranges

But rare on the coast



        VIII

Winter bites at toes

Left uncovered by blankets

On dark, frosty nights



        IX

The spring drizzle falls

Riots of colour explode

Under blue-grey skies



        X

The year continues

Halloween has been creeping

But I don’t like it



        XI

It’s warming up now

Tourists a more common sight

I prefer quiet



        XII

Christmas is too hot

For a roast turkey dinner,

Better for cold cuts
