exploring the seasons and sharing haiku
Guided by the 72-season calendar, SeasonWords.com provides readers with a weekly exploration into the changing seasons through poetry and prose.
Each post investigates a specific seasonal element such as the migration of birds or the creation of frost. Then, we read some haiku written about that season.
Please join me on this journey.
Many thanks for your support!
