"Quoi de neuf"
Facebook me demande
Entre deux averses de pluie

An interesting haiku because it confronts two worlds: the virtual (Facebook) and the real (rain). But also two places: here and there (Facebook). Note that the structure in 2+1 works better than if it ... >>> la suite...

à côté du nouveau calendrier
une ardoise vide

Un Haiku par jour, 2023-01-29

début de l'Avent -
le lilas n'a pu retenir
sa dernière feuille

knitting needles

coeur de l’hiver
le bruit des aiguilles à tricoter
de mamie

Twitter, 2023-01
