New Year Haiku

What fish feel,
birds feel, I don't know--
the year ending.
-Basho, 1687



Trout rise like the sun
to hand tied flies. I rise like trout
to the new year.
-The Mad Fishicist, 2007

Happy New Year. Thanks for reading.

Feel free to submit your New Year Haiku to the comments section of this post. Might be fun.

For my Sisters in Study:

This shall be a year
of depth in the Word, as we
learn of David's heart.

Here goes.

Old year turning, ends.
Dies to self, clings to new life.
Love returns anew.

As I don't speak the language
Lingering in the dark

If you don't speak English, Opax, than neither do I. In my opinion, your English (your writing skills, anyway) is superb.
