Haiku for the New Year

 


Haiku for the New Year

by Dawn Pisturino


New Year's

New Year's scurries in
On tiny feet, quiet as
A mouse at midnight.

Mercury

Good luck came swiftly
On Mercury's flying boots,
A Roman windfall.

January First

January first
Brings new hope, new love, new faith
In a failing world.

Gifts

Gifts of gentle words
Calm the raging sea inside
Your turbulent heart.

God

God is larger than
The universe, standing watch
Over all of us.
