January: a haibun

#Haiku Happenings #6: Janice’s latest #haibun!

Janice's avatarOntheland

This January I find myself surrendering to winter, adapting to the calls of sleep, oven casseroles, and layers of cotton, wool and polyester—layers worn and taken off with changes in damp and chill. Dreams, no resolutions, but hazy sightings of possibility accompany me under layers of comforters. They nestle within as a cat circles my lap, quelling my daily resistance.

the sun shines

and I shudder

it’s too early for spring

    I love this idea of surrendering to the need for rest, comfort and self nurture in January.

    “Under layers of comforters” – the best place to be for surrendering! It sounds like you are a winter lover!
