dagosan's haiku diary: January 2006

Tuesday, January 31, 2006

II: 031

a neighborhood
with no front yards -
not a snowman in sight

Monday, January 30, 2006

II: 030

January ends --
baking an apple
we picked last fall

Sunday, January 29, 2006

II: 029

winter clouds
and rain --
the city painted gray

Saturday, January 28, 2006

II: 028

sunshine finds a prism --
forgotten paperweight
on the shelf

[orig., Jan. 28, 2005]

Friday, January 27, 2006

II: 027

coming
or going?
wafer-thin ice floes

[sorry about the earlier, confusing typo]

Thursday, January 26, 2006

II: 026

cloudless night --
did you run off with the man
and the moon?

Wednesday, January 25, 2006

II: 025

too cold
to linger at the river --
one crow in a tree

Tuesday, January 24, 2006

II: 024

the sway
of platinum blondes --
cattails in the snow

Monday, January 23, 2006

II: 023

unexpected snow --
all appointments
in pencil

Sunday, January 22, 2006

II: 022

the year-old hound dog
bays and bays --
moonless and alone

Saturday, January 21, 2006

II: 021

small sad face
in the puddle --
last weekend's snowman

Friday, January 20, 2006

II: 020

two squirrels rush down
the fire escape --
mid-argument, we smile

Thursday, January 19, 2006

II: 019

the river ice
is gone again --
are the crows confused?

Wednesday, January 18, 2006

II: 018

mild winter so far --
the weatherman worries
about payback

Tuesday, January 17, 2006

II: 017

mist on the pond
the novice figure skater
laces up

Monday, January 16, 2006

II: 016

wintry mix
big wet ones
at the bedroom window

Sunday, January 15, 2006

II: 015

every window
opaque with ice --
we watch the storm on tv

Saturday, January 14, 2006

II: 014

snow plows clear the bridge
echo of summer
fireworks

Friday, January 13, 2006

II: 013

an occasional
ice floe
friday night alone

Thursday, January 12, 2006

II: 012

muddy boots and mittens --
mom prays
for snow

late for the meeting -
a slow stroll under
a full moon

Wednesday, January 11, 2006

II: 011

january thaw --
a quick mud buddha
while mom's not looking

Tuesday, January 10, 2006

II: 010 - mostly

sunset --
an almost-full moon
almost causes a crash

Monday, January 09, 2006

II: 009

three-quarter moon
black and gray shadows
cross the snow-covered lawn

Sunday, January 08, 2006

II: 008

yellow halo --
the dog completes
my snow angel

Saturday, January 07, 2006

II: 007

how'd the clouds
get behind the moon?
cold winter afternoon

Friday, January 06, 2006

II: 006

startled eachother --
a very large crow
behind the snowbank

Thursday, January 05, 2006

II: 005

frontdoor
to curb --
pine needles and tinsel

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

II: 004

cattails
under the snowbank
the plow moves on

Tuesday, January 03, 2006

II: 003

first clear night this week
the moon's
half empty

Monday, January 02, 2006

II: 002

january thaw
motionless trees
shiver on the river

Sunday, January 01, 2006

II: 001

the ball drops . . .
same moon
as last year
