The salmon-pink sky

behind condos' silhouettes.

A winter sunset.

206.

Feeling like I want

to quit everything and

just run far away.

Darkness falls quickly,

a cloud curtain pushed by wind.

Night in an instant.

The bay today is

the truest aquamarine

I have ever seen.

Way too much to do.

I'm craving true solitude...

and quiet stillness.

Really, Florida?!

To be so cold for so long

is unnatural.

My new overcoat

reminds me of Doctor Who...

'tis long, woolly, brown.

Before I get to today's haiku, I just want to take a moment to observe. This post is special for three reasons:

1 - Today is (roughly) the celebration date for Little Christmas, or the celebration of the Epiphany, which was always something my family enjoyed celebrating and a special time for us and our friends. Even though I won't be celebrating today, the event and its significance have been on my mind.

2 - It is the first haiku of the new year and the new decade!! Woo!!

3- This is what I'm personally thinking of as the "Wade Boggs of Haiku Posts." In other words, it is my 100th post and it features my 200th haiku since starting this project. Why Wade Boggs, you ask? Because among other things, he was noted for achieving four separate 200 hit, 100 walk seasons with the Red Sox during his playing career...and yes, if you didn't already know, I am a big baseball nerd.

Without further ado....haiku!!

200.

Moments in time have

unexpected resonance.

It all stays with us.
