welcoming 2009 with our haiga calendar

By David A. Giacalone

year-end blizzard –
tentative steps
in brand new boots

The f/k/a Gang almost let our Haiga Calendar tradition fade away after only one year of production — we did two of them for 2008, featuring a photograph with a linked haiku for each month.  However, dagosan has spent the morning putting together haiga calendar pages for the first three months of 2009, and we promise to complete a 2009 Haiga Calendar as the year progresses.

Here are smaller versions of the January, February and March calendar pages, with photos and poems by this weblog’s Editor.  Click on each month to go to a separate page that you may print out at your desired size.

- thanks again to the Honored Guest Poets who allow us to post their poems here at f/k/a, and to all our readers, who come here for the poetry or the punditry (or, hopefully, both) –
