Tag: winter

First Sakura

Pale pink petals unfurl
Minute against budding branches
Lingering chill of winter

Seasonal Haiku

arbor rain smells
of chlorophyll and earth
worms and robins
muddied sneakers

a snowflake falls
on an early
snowdrop

lackadaisical:
a chime lounges
on a windless day

elegant trees shed
teardrops of red
and ocher

Note: It’s been a while…I hope you all are well. =)

Unrequited

our breaths
wreathing together
in the winter air
reminds me of
our separation

A Minor Sacrifice

cold toes
bloodletting
for winter solstice

Snowbound

cloudy sentiment envelops
a world of stillness
the cars parked and snowed-in

I too, peering beyond
my window appear
content to be contained

Lament of Late Summer

the nights still hold midday’s breath
but on deceptive winds, the winged flee
heralding the approaching cold
fall’s crispness
winter
snap

Winter Blues

I am the icicle;
sharp
and not yet
thawed

One in a Crowd

snow in a deluge —
each snowflake distinct
but unseen
in the masses

Freeze

Snow hare

Under snow shower
Nervous hare twitches
Hawk on the prowl

Pretend Sofa

Bench

beyond the window
snow-lined bench
invites homebodies
