Poems for January 1 from 1997 - 2021

 New Year's morning

quiet after the light snow

except for the creek

--1997

January first

each dated tree ornament

a year older

--2003

replacing

old calendar with new

full of things to do

--2005

New Year's project:

finding the stuff I stashed away

before Christmas

--2006

23 degrees

first day of the year, I read

Season's spring haiku

(Carolyn Thomas)

--2008

New Year's morning

just like any others

at least at daybreak

--2009

first day of new year

two inches of snow

and no birds

--2017

first day of new year

reading all eight earlier 

haiku booklets

--2021
