#Haiku Happenings #4: Ada’s latest haiku and #tanka for Carpe Diem!
New Year’s Eve
day spent cleaning house
clearing out
planning for a brighter year
leaving baggage behind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a minute after midnight
my spouse bundles up warmly
takes treats for stray cats
cold air spilling in door
a mixture of sadness and hope
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NewYear’s Day
a squirrel shakes his tail
at the rain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First rain fall
attempting to wash away
melancholy year
