All senses feasted
preparing Seville oranges -
the multiplicity of pips,
the zing of chopping lemons,
perfumed droplets in the air
to sting my eyes
in readiness for the bubbling boil
of a year’s supply of marmalade.
I can’t think where January has gone – nearly at the end of writing daily stones for http://www.writingourwayhome.com/ . Never mind, there’s a new Haiku Challenge for February at http://pendownmythought.blogspot.com/2012/01/haiku-challenge-is back.html
