2009 Haiku Calendar 

Natural Peregrinations

   2009 Haiku and Brush Calligraphy Calendar includes haiku, senryu,
   and a few short poems... from 35 poets.

   Each month has 6-7 poems plus original calligraphy artwork of ancient Chinese
   pictographs, with explanations. Plus a few more poems and a very brief historical
   note about haiku on the back cover.

   The calendar also includes the holidays of cultures around the world, plus full
   and new moons, and solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarters.  

   The calendar is printed on 100% post consumer recycled fiber,
   which also makes the paper chlorine free.

   The pages are 8.5 x 11, it is all black and white and shades of gray.

after a long journey
cooking pots cold

Rain drops
and sticky grains of sand:
little things have changed my plans.

raindrops
the bag lady nods
to the beggar

- Bill Kenney
 

rows of thunderclouds
over the cornfield -- the farmer
lengthens his stride

                           - George Wallace
 

an acorn sprouts a sparrow’s song

                                                   - J R Turek

Holding It All

If my hands were big enough,
I would hold the world,
and help heal its wounds.

But as my hands
are only the size of a page,
I hold a pen instead...
and the world,
I hold in my heart.

       - Julia Butterfly Hill
