For the February HaikuWriMo, hosted by `MSJames.

28 days, 28 haikai.
This is going to be fun...





<sub>NOTES

1 Haiku-hyper, I can see the moon through the window. Hot chocolate's keeping me warm. (:

2 Saw the blackbird step into the snow- wet, cold feets- he didn't look impressed.

3 A drip of ice outside Dad's room, been here all week!

4 Outside the train window, coming back from the theatre, crows and magpies all over the trees.

5 More snow! D:

6 Translates roughly to
too early...
The eager robin again
breaks the winter day

7 Passed the pond whilst walking, two mallard brothers by the ice, just looking so shocked... C:

8 Such a sweet morning...all golden sunlight and the dawn chorus. No clouds.

9 Always happens. >__>

10 So bitterly cold...but amazing.

11 The world's warming up! No more snow until next year, hopefully. <3

12 Waiting for the morning number 5, a streak of orange-red shoots across the trees on the island.

13 Chilly and grey and windy. Again.

14 Rock doves EVERYWHERE on the roads, in pairs.

15 First Evensong. Jimmy and Abraham came too. XD

16 Daffodil shoots around the trees in the front garden. Late, this year, what with the snow.

17 On the way to the Dentist. Jogging so slowly and laboriously...the crow didn't look at all worried. XD

18 Greyness.

19 Forgot about the back and tried to bend over...not good. :/

20 Such a glorious, golden sunset...you can hear the flapping of their wings, a cloud of starlings above my head.

21 Clement sang at another wedding, the bride was late by 20 minutes- they had a proper carriage and everything!!! Sun was out, world smells fresh and pretty. Just walked outside in the churchyard till they came out. Lovely. <3

22 Jackdaw on the roof when we came home, looked as if he wanted a snooze and he fluttered around a bit until he found the perfect spot...then tucked his head away and got on with snoozing. C:

23 Noisy Canada geese finally flying back here, my throat hurts like hell- can't talk! Actually, everything kinda hurts and my head's all fuzzy...

24 Ash wednesday, I got a pretty decent cross for once. I'm properly ill, I think. 'flu is amazingly fun. Yes.

25 Really tall conifers at the station- magpies chasing each other over the treetops. Perhaps she doesn't like commitment...XD

26 Ugh, just tiring and boring. Everyone was being crazily bad-tempered as well. I'm just happy I'm not getting iller...

27 Spiders have such elegant legs...

28 Finally started folding something! A panda is coming to life...and I'm making that tutorial for it finally. (:</sub>
