February is National Haiku Writing Month — except it's international — hosted on facebook, with prompts, by Michael Dylan Welch.
Feb. 1: apple
one bite
out of the apple
squirts juice
Feb. 2: boat
moored
three masts
moonlit
Feb 3: catfish
I cannot catch
the unseen catfish
in verse
Feb. 4: any kind of dog.
small timberwolf
self-possessed as a cat
I still miss you
Feb. 5: egg
eating the unborn
I prefer brown skins
in eggs as in men
Feb. 6: frame
only at the joints
of this expansive structure
we see the fine bones
Feb 7: grief
reports of her death
greatly exaggerated
grief instantly cured
