Ring in the New
The spire silhouette stands proudly in the town square. There's no moon, and the
clouds have turned off all stars.
Villagers in their thick jackets and boots converge to the door of worship. After
another year of wars, mass shootings, disease, and death, everyone is ready for
the winter solstice to beckon longer days and hope.

Warmest New Year wishes to all of you from Triveni Spotlight!
Though any day of the year is good to begin something new, the first day of the new year comes with a tinkle of celebration. No better day than this to do something new here on Spotlight.
Presenting a collection of uplifting haibun this month, each that speaks of hope, peace, joy or acceptance, all from the archives of haikuKATHA.
May 2025 be filled with all of the above for you, dear poets.

Never to lose hope despite the sad happenings. A beautifully crafted Haibun. I felt like I am there in this village watching and reflecting …
You are most welcome. Lots of love and best wishes, Sangita.
A lovely tribute to hope and promise, Sangita. Much enjoyed this second time around.

Sangita,
Beautifully worded.
Thank you, Anju.
Thank you Anju for featuring this ku! Written in Slovakia, this haibun is very close to my heart.
