NEW YEAR

New hopes
Excellent beginnings
Worthy expectations

Yearning to
End all
Angst and
Rife trepidations

  3. Amity,
    Hey, Lil Sis. That was very, very good for a first attempt. I really don't have any suggestions, except maybe switching the order of time and nature. See if that changes the meaning or the feel. You could also choose a specific kind of tree (oak, elm, ash, etc.) with a one syllable name. That can also bring a different shade of meaning. Like flowers, different trees have different symbolic meaning. I suppose you could play with synonyms for survive too (endure is the only one that comes to mind). Make small changes and see what YOU think. You may go right back to this one, or you might like one of the others. Either way, you'll get a bit more practice with the subtleties of haiku. Congratulations on an excellent first haiku.

  7. Great beginning to a New Year..

  8. I like the internal alliteration in the first line of your second option (old/elms). I also like the shift in meaning with the change of "by" to "with." They are both nice, so ultimately, the choice is yours. You can submit one on the Haiku Bones site too if you want. The prompt there is "time," so your haiku would fit perfectly. Good job!

  9. I was wrong. The prompt for Haiku Bones is "electrifying." The "time" prompt is on David L. Harrison's site. That would be fine too. You would like that site. Lots of good poetry being posted there.
