NaHaiWriMo Week 1

February is NaHaiWriMo: National Haiku Writing Month. I've been posting a daily haiku on Twitter and Facebook. These are my tweets from the first week.

My February 5 haiku takes its cue from "Bird life badly hit by nuclear fallout in Japan" (David McNeill, Irish Times, Feb. 3). Its line "a cuckoo cries" is taken from Basho's haiku 1a, here.
