A knock at the door.
her face rings a bell  ... My past
has caught up with me.

triple haiku:

Consistency makes
unimaginative lives

A Day Late Year-End Review at the Haikulodeon - pt. 1

By MrSmith1 on Fri, 01/01/2016 - 1:44pm |

2015 was an amazing year at the Haikulodeon.  I have been going through all the comments this past year and there are so many great haikus, I'm going to post this year-end review in two parts.  I've included some of my haiku comments in the mix because they fit into the thread and sparked other responses.   Thanks to all who responded last year, including Barefooted, Richard Day, Guy named Lulu, moat, Oxy Mora, Peracles Please, Trkingmomoe and Ramona.

Happy New Year. Dagbloggers!!

December morning,
I walk through an alleyway
between two churches.

Hidden in the creche;
a marble he'd stolen from
his little brother.
