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
