Haiku 1-4-22
outside, cold and gray
winter lingers, but inside --
new seed catalogs!
* * *
sunshine on the ice
thows sparkles into the air
silver and gold
* * *
icicles hang down,
hugging the house's shoulders:
fringe of winter's shawl
* * *
dry leaves on the ground
hold the first snow in patches
of white against brown
* * *
cold wind from the north --
a squirrel hogs the bird feeder,
warm in his fur coat
* * *
the sky is light blue,
winter-pale but sunny: not
thinking of snow now
* * *
Notes:
