celebrate many
new year holidays
at any time
some follow lunar calendars and
others follow the earth around the sun
starting in autumn
continuing throughout winter
many celebrate

Nicely done. Interesting form.
ReplyDelete.... because every day is a new beginning, no? :)
ReplyDeleteIs this sort of like saying that every new day is the beginning of a new year of your life?

I like this haiku ... really a nice post.
ReplyDeleteI think at one point in time before calendars, each season was counted as a new beginning or new year. And there may have been more than just the four seasons we traditionally count. So a person who might have been a ten years old could be counted as being forty or more years old. That is at least one explanation for attempting to understand how some of our ancients had such long lives.
