My Dear Readers/Fellow Poets:
Today is the first Sunday of 2014. Share with you my favorite dishes from the New Year haiku/tanka feast prepared by DIOGEN pro culture magazine (whose new year anthology is a free Serbian-English ebook, in PDF format)
the new year
begins with sky rockets
like them
who can tell
where we will land
Beverley George
the column of sparks
from the fountain rises
on New Year's eve
how do I start this time
with an end

a fresh leaf
white in the winter
of a new year;
it seems a shame
to mar it with words

new year’s moon -
on the crumbling front steps
another layer of snow

tick ticking
just as loud

my mother refreshes
her old complaints

the new year begins
with the same rising sun ...
me in the mirror

My 'new year' haiku is the opening verse of my following haiku set, Revelations:

with the same rising sun...
me in the mirror
