One foot of snow here in Columbus, temperatures in the teens and lower. The snowfall is lovely, the chill challenging. Twilight is early, but sunset is growing later, minute by minute. Let’s celebrate the winter season with haiku!

winter in their wings

hounds of winter

winter dawn
quarreling crows
irritate the silence

deep winter night
I, calm, suspend
self-judgment

all things pass away
I embrace
this winter morning
