We can’t hold it off any longer. Winter has arrived. No big storms yet, but snow and ice will come. What’s winter like for you? Harsh or contemplative? Here are some haiku for the season.

 

sullen gloom

or hush contemplative

choosing your winter

 

serenity

of winter darkness

chapel of the stars

 

in barren winter

give yourself

the great gift of love

 

twilight rooftops

snowfall sparrows

winter in their wings

 

winter horse

pale stars

silent pasture

 

winter thaw

triple squirrels

daredeviling on branches

 

winter dawn

quarreling crows

irritate the silence

 

a hint of light

in winter’s

dark compassion
