The Week in Haiku 39 2026
soft splashes
in the birdbath
courage
+++++
rain drops swell
on the pine needle tips…
just let go
+++++
pine needles
gather up raindrops
a gust of wind
+++++
baking bread
in the high country
hope rises and falls*
+++++
a gentle rain
the pine needles
cling
+++++
bear at the door
a hard winter
ahead
+++++
chocolate shop
two truffles
no five
+++++
snow above tree line
Main Street blooms
with flannel
——
*If you have ever tried to bake bread at 8,500’, you’ll know it’s a fraught enterprise.
