Haiku
shortest deep dark day
tilted earth swings from the sun
as the year ends
the year ends
in waning solar time—
a new year begins
memories flow—
in a turbulent torrent
the year ends
Winter Solstice Haiku Thread
Year Ends Kukai
About
Frances Shaffi
Frances
Shaffi: A beginner in the pleasures
of Haiku but carried away with the intensity of feeling 17
syllables can convey, can encapsulate so succinctly.
I have traveled widely perusing different fields of endeavor
and now reside in California. Poetry, painting, and
music all are part of my life.
This is Frances
Shaffi's first appearance in Sketchbook.
