The Daily Haiku Thread 2020

[Clayton Beach]

This is a showcase for your most recent haiku. Both previously published and unpublished haiku are welcome. Keep commentary positive and let us know what poems you enjoy the most. Please acknowledge the provenance of previously published poems. Most of all, enjoy the fine haiku!

You may share up to five of your most recent haiku per day, any topic. This is meant to be a daily share thread and has room for more than just "signature haiku" so don't be shy about poems that catch a simple moment. The gallery section is meant as a convenient space to share work that you might otherwise post to social media, published work is welcome but unpublished poems are fine too, with the caveat that editors may not accept submissions that have been posted to a public forum. Consider this an opportunity to publish poems that might not otherwise be seen.

Shark Week already?

[Michael]

I'm either 6 months early or 6 months late.

Fuji covered in snow
Like an old gray-haired man
Winter has come for both

Slanting sails flashed
Flock of sharks swept over
Fishermen on their way
