[Starting with this haiku, I plan to put the remarks for each day's haiku in the comments section of the post. I will continue to maintain the archives and link information here. I am now planning to extend this linked haiku sequence for an entire year. Look at this blog's sidebar for details (see the section entitled, "A Linked Year"). ~Masago]
