the old year’s over
in a flash of fireworks
all that’s left is smoke

My response to Carpe Diem #1574 New Year’s Eve
In the first episode of 2019, in a month in which we will be exploring classical and modern kigo for winter, we are celebrating the new year with a modern kigo taken from Jane Reichhold’s A Dictionary of Haiku: New Year’s Eve.

We’ll have to wait for the smoke to clear to see what kind of a year it will be. Happy New Year, Kim.

Never thought of fireworks on New Year’s Eve that way. I love the idea of moving on from last year with such imagery! 🙂
