Winter haiku

All seasonal haiku – and much more – is available in my published collection of poetry – “No Boundaries.” See link at right.

In the meantime, here’s some winter haiku.

* * *

Frosted snowmen stand

Guarding homes of their makers 

Coal eyes watch the play. 

* * *

Home town ponds freezing 

Skaters wrap their necks with scarves

Hot cocoa at home.

* * *

Snow shovels scraping

Driveways and sidewalks cleaned up

Kids break out snow day.

* * *

Time for a long nap 

Hibernating furry bears 

Roly-poly cubs.

* * *

Ribbons red and green

Giggling children unwrap glee

Do I smell turkey?

    These are wonderful, Karen, and they evoke so many of the sights, sounds, and smells of my childhood winters long ago. Thank you!
