Description 1/3/08
Melting mulch
past feeds present
then and now.

2/3/08
Every body’s talking
Every plant’s stalking
nature’s  abuzz.

3/3/08
Rail side weeds lean
rail side people lean too
Train's coming!  

4/3/08
Rail-side marigolds
yellow warning lines
stand behind the line!

5/3/08
Clouds above
dew below
air smells of rain.

6/3/08
By dawn's light
she reads his e-mail;
her hair is fire.

7/3/08
Village pub
filled with dirty old men, smoke
Frank Sinatra.

8/3/08
March
One day war
V-day!

9/3/08
Earthquakes
politic order shaken
times are a changin'.

10/3/08
Sky bloated
with water retention
that time of month.

11/3/08
Booming
thunder without rain
A Capella sky.

12/3/08
Help!
an unmovable weight
kitten asleep on me.

13/3/08
Morning glory's bloom
ignored by early commuters
bloom of morning's glory.

14/3/08
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa sin"
mourners cry
funeral rites.

15/3/08
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaam sing"
revelers cry
wedding rites.

16/3/08
Rooster stares
suits stare back
rural train stalled

17/3/08
Everywhere green
not plants
but people

18/3/08
Fair trade
she buy bras inside
he smokes outside.

19/3/08
Sky dragon
roaring thunder
cats scatter!

20/3/08
Everywhere green
Irish again
No, Maulidur Rasul.

21/3/08
Lazy Friday
empty offices
PCs hum to themselves.

22/3/08
Northeast monsoon
bring floods in the Westcoast.
Someone's lost.

23/3/08
Easter Sunday
Singh Sunday breakfast
all follow routine.

24/3/08
Little Buddhas
Kids with melon-hair chatter
school bus is late.

25/3/08
Standing in the gale
her scarf stands stiff
flagpole woman.

26/3/08
Women with branded shoes
barefoot in the rain

27/3/08
Bad timing
neighbors are moving
and so are clouds.

28/3/08
Jog turns to run
as hobo turns mugger

29/3/08
Train lurches
couples hold tight
singles roll eyes.

30/3/08
Gym members strut
wearing sweat like badges
laborers laugh.

31/3/08
Rush till the end
B&R fills with people
empties of ice cream.

Thanks, I'm starting to think I should have put it first (kinda like a "wake up, start the haiku!" call)

I like the double meaning of stalking.

I really like the first one - you can feel the activity of life that comes with spring. Awesome start. :D

Thanks.
