February Japanese Micro Seasons Challenge - #TankaTuesday #haiku #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity @YvetteMCalleiro

 

Hello, beautiful readers! Colleen Chesebro at #TankaTuesday shared the February 2026 Micro-Seasons Challenge earlier this month. I have shared my haikus using the micro-season phrases as well as a few of the others I've written this month.

February 4-8

icicles on trees

winter's trophy starts to crack

east wind melts the ice

~~~

February 9-13

ten bush warblers

start singing in the mountains

peaceful orchestra

~~~

February 14-18

opaque lake turns clear

bright fish emerge from the ice

a welcomed rainbow

~~~

February 19-23

rain moistens the soil

seedlings begin to waken

winter's goodbye kiss

~~~

February 24-28

seasonal dance starts

mists start to linger on lakes

fox comes out of den


Here are a few of the other haikus I wrote this month:


frozen drops of rain

crystallized leaves on palm trees

unexpected sights

~~~

cotton candy sky

from pastels to vibrant hues

night's golden glory

~~~

lighthouse in the dark

sanctuary among thieves

home away from home

~~~

palm trees sway in breeze

small ripples caress calm lake

sweet serenity

~~~

feet pitter patter

vibrant green grass tickles him

joyous burst of glee

~~~

buzzing bumblebee

flits from flower to flower

sweet, delightful job

~~~

chilled flowing waters

trapped just beneath the surface

awaits to break free

~~~

farmland grapes talk

releasing secrets from past

drunken truths revealed

~~~

a bird caws in tree

sun slowly rises in east

cat stretches front legs
