Alec Wilson's

One Year
Haiku written monthly to reflect the author's experiences throughout 2021
一月 (January) 
Rain, snow and thick mist;
The solemn curtain from which
the moon daren’t emerge

​二月 (February)
Waiting, impatient
Longing is met with silence
The rose starts to wilt

三月 (March)
Sakura petals
Scattered in an English park
All tears fall the same
四月 (April)
When snow and hearts melt
The riverbank overflows,
Washing them away

五月 (May)
Flitting, fluttering
Hearts spit and splutter in the 
warmth of a new sun

​六月 (June)
The June waiting room
Appointment has been cancelled
Back the way you came
​
七月 (July)
Midsummer colours
A token consolation
Summer passes by

八月 (August)
A mountain retreat
Calms, if but for a moment,
The weariest soul

​九月 (September)
A familiar cloud
Slowly preparing to cast
another shadow
十月 (October)
Lush forests recede
Ailing branches fall, knowing
they shall not see spring

十一月 (November)
Finding your footprints
Under auburn leaves, we meet;
Momentarily 

​十二月 (December)
A great hurricane
Windmills, stilled, rotate anew
Furtive dancing leaves
