March 18 to March 24 is the twelfth week of 2024.  This week, we enter the Solar Term of Spring Equinox (Mar 20- Apr 3) and have the micro-seasons of “Caterpillars Become Butterflies” (Mar 16 – Mar 19) and “Sparrows Start to Nest”(Mar 20 – Mar 24). Basho, Issa, Buson, Sodo, Reichhold, and Kerouac wrote the poems selected for this week.
