of a week of haiku

 That time I wrote a haiku, and then it became a daily haiku for a week. It was this time of year, early winter.  * haiku for depression  an ink stain blooming something molten and monstrous  come to devour me    *    verge of bitter dawn shiver runs like a snag through fine nylon stockings   *    crabapple branches colours shouting so loudly! at me and the sky   *    my mother says a  teacup is a happy thing how nice for the tea    *    you can't hold back a  tsunami with cotton wool.  it's too late for words   *   the susurration  of trickling drops cocoons me beyond my warm bed    *   for all the wonders yes! I marvel and thrill! but I still prefer sleep
