NaHaiWriMo  February prompts by Michael Dylan Welch

# 1 pasta

new diet ~
spaghetti carbonare 
so long

  

# 2 eggs

sea breeze ~
black eggs bursting
on my tongue

# 3 cheese

cheeeese ~
a new family portrait
for her cottage

# 4 spice / spices

sea salt . . .
the old wounds
that won’t heal

# 5 vegetables


I straighten my back –
morning sun on snowy rows
of borecole

# 6 rice

turtle doves ~
a handful of long grain rice
for the bride and groom


sticky rice
the old couple nitpick
over tiny details

  

# 7 milk 

baby blue
the same color eyes
as the milk man

milk and honey ~
of all weeks I pick this 
for a diet

what an abundance of tempting food haiku here all week ;-)


# 8 hiking

navigation satellites a red ant climbs my hiking boot


# 9 glacier

ice edge a young boy gazes at the glacier guide


# 10 garden

withered garden
I thank the weather god
for powder snow

# 11 wood

sharp frost -
through the wood the echo
of an ax


# 12 river

quiet stream ~
a pilgrim unties
his boots


# 13 shade tree

campsite booking
I search google map
for a shade tree

In Scandinavia this would not be an issue. But this summer I’ll go kayaking in Croatia ;-)


# 14 harbor

harbor mist
my grip on the tiller
loosens


# 15 orange

close embrace ~
orange flames dancing
in the wood stove


# 16 red

snow angel
a cascade of curly red
frames her face
 


# 17 black ( NaHaiWriMo )

ichi ni san shi . . . .
the guy with the black belt
in my day dream

# 18 green

smiling eggs a tuft of the cressman’s hair

In Denmark, smiling eggs are also something between a soft and a hardboiled egg ;-)



# 19 blue

have you spilled
on my sister’s burqa
Afghan sky


# 20 white (haiga)

white breath
cold fingers fumble
with the camera


# 21 turquoise (haiga)

arctic sea ~
please may I have
this dance


# 22 living room

Friday off ~
just me and the whispering
wood stove


# 23 bedroom (haiga)

here there entangled in the remnants of a dream


# 24 bathroom

toilet paper ~
the look on her face when I talk
about recycling


# 25 dining room

Danish smorgasbord
a handfull of St.John's wort
in the aquavit



# 26 closet

snowdrops ~
wool and cotton change place
in the closet


# 27 garage

ice winter ~
a Black Pearl gathers dust
in the garage



# 28 kitchen (haiga)

a boiling kettle
over the dishes we solve
the world situation
