February 12 to February 18 is the seventh week of 2024 in the Gregorian calendar.  During this week, we complete the Solar Term of the Beginning of Spring (Feb 04 - Feb 18), while the micro-seasons for this week are “Bush warblers start singing in the mountains” (Feb 9 - Feb 13) and “Fish Emerge From The Ice” (Feb 14 - Feb 18). The haiku selected for this week are written by Basho, Issa, Reichhold, Sogi, Kerouac, and Kenko.
