Week 1 of NaHaiWriMo 2023

OMG just realised it’s February — NaHaiWriMo month, which I usually participate in — and I could have been doing all my micropoems this month to those haiku prompts. OK, I’ll jump right in and catch up with what I’ve missed. (Confession: some are senryu.)

1: DAYBREAK

cooling air

after the long hot night —

brief rest

2: DAWN BIRDSONG

one magpie

sings in the dawn

briefly

3: CROWING ROOSTER

shrill call

of the rooster —

still dark

4: SUNRISE

sunrise —

my cat landing on the bed

informs me

*

sunrise —

I open one eye

and roll over

5: BREAKFAST

first of all

the morning coffee —

long and black

6: MORNING

pounding rain

suddenly interrupts

this hot morning

7: BRUNCH

out for brunch

before the day warms up —

old friends chat
