January

brand new calendar, gate opens new beginning, the world celebrates. deep family bonding, thick rice cakes and firecrackers, fire dragon dancing.

Love both haiku, AiyaH, though if pressed I would go for the second...I sense an eastern atmosphere. gl. // paul

January to January, the opening of New Years. Where families grow and grow, and erode the pasts tears and fears. Nice poem, thanks for sharing, James :)
