Spring Haikuthon Mar 1-31 2008 by `jade-pandora:iconjade-pandora:





March 31 - haiku/haiku

a brief life
serenades from the reeds-
eternal spring

March 30 - haiku/senryu

start stop start stop
two squirrels hide and seek
to the treetop

March 29 - haiku/senryu

spring fever-
I cut my jeans
very short

March 28 - haiku/haiku

I trod barefoot
on the path
to his sandals

March 27 - haiku/haiku

hands tremble
I press his note into
origami folds

March 26 - haiku/haiku

waning moon, low tide
sand shifts from my feet
to my lover's

March 25 - haiku/haiku

the scent of rain
the scent of him-
one and the same

March 24 - senryu/senryu

at the zoo
sneaking a grope
by the python cage

March 23 - haiku/haiku

freshly washed hair
drying in the spring air-
I think of him

March 22 - haiku/haiku

bathroom window
moonlight
voyeur

March 21 - haiku/haiku

before dawn
he wakes me
in prayer

March 20 - haiku/haiku

moonless night
my lover's eyes
the only light

March 19 - haiku/haiku

I anticipate
his breath on my nape-
spring dusk

March 18 - haiku/haiku

cloudburst-
his clothes and mine
drip-dry in the tub

March 17 - haiku/haiku

blood oranges
pried open
bleeding down my chin

March 16 - haiku/haiku

melon flesh yields
green gourds hang-
afternoon banquet

March 15 - haiku/haiku

curbside run-off
graceful silhouette
the flight of a crane

March 14 - haiku/senryu

camp raid-
not a single egg
or raccoon left

March 13 - haiku/senryu

wasp nest
in my mailbox-
unpaid bills

March 12 - haiku/senryu

a tabby preens
on the porch-
ant queue

March 11 - haiku/haiku

daybreak-
empty and unbroken
a lone snail shell

March 10 - haiku/haiku

spring showers
woven boughs
nut hatchlings sleep

March 9 - haiku/senryu

cacophony-
returning geese
catch up on gossip

March 8 - senryu/senryu

sun bonnets in vogue-
a bee attends
high tea

March 7 - haiku/senryu

morning dew-
ladybug
reflections

March 6 - haiku/senryu

swollen stream-
bears' midday forage
the twins wrestle

March 5 - haiku/haiku

death rattle-
gulls loiter inland
from the last storm

March 4 - haiku/senryu

coitus-
two otters
underwater

March 3 - haiku/haiku

dream catchers
at dawn's first light-
cocoon remnants

March 2 - haiku/senryu

scalloped leaves-
a caterpillar's
overbite

March 1 - haiku/haiku

snow melts-
bones of winter
grin from the grass

Author's Comments

I will post a haiku for each day of March - 31 haiku total - with primary & secondary influence of haiku and/or senryu noted to the right of each date, so I hope readers & watchers alike will return often to see the progression as I participate in this, the Spring Bash Haikuthon ... hosted by *Iscariot-Priest

Please be sure to visit the other members who are participating as well and view the various examples of how this ancient style of poetry can be approached. :)

*The preview piece is the stamp for the spring challenge delightfully designed to perfection by =RetroZombie :heart:

03.31.08 Update: And so with the posting of #31 comes to a close the spring haikuthon. It's been quite a month - amazing in ways that the haiku in this collection only hint at. My thanks & gratitude for the support & comments of other participants & haijin - with my warmest regards to one & all. :heart:

You say, look at me now. don't shut those dyslexic eyes. So your heart's a slow learner and those drugs are its disguise. Well, it's a clear costume, you might as well not try to hide.
:iconretrozombie:
unlike me, you've made a strong start!
Excellent imagery! I love the image of snow looking like bones in the grass! :nod:

You're going to have a great month--I can tell! :#1:

Always look on the bright side... there's more light there and it's easier to find stuff.
