FRESH SNOW WAS FALLING

 

Fresh snow was falling

Like scattered confetti at

A winter wedding

WINTER HAIKU # 4

 

Congregations meet

At crisp ice sculpted churches

For winter weddings

FROSTY KALEIDOSCOPE

 

Frosty kaleidoscope images

Appear on the frozen panes

Touched by winters icy fingers

In the bitter seasons domain 

SUMMER SQUALL

The sky is grey and dark

Defying the sun to appear

Then the wind picks up

And thunder is getting near

Rain follows with lightning

Flashes that strike fear

And preludes the thunder

So loud it deafens the ear

But then its passes on

And the skies are clear

WINTER HAIKU # 3

 The snowy winter scene is

A picturesque wonderland

Viewed through windows

AFTER THE ICE QUEENS BITTER TOUCH

 

After the ice queen’s bitter touch

Fountains cascaded no more,

Waterfalls become inanimate.

And you cannot avoid her winter bite

Driving snow falls upon frost and ice

And the world feels her bitter chill

For a hundred years or more

THE SUNRISE WAS A GLOWING RED

 

The sunrise was a glowing red

As the day began frostily

Beneath the clear skies

But those skies turned grey

As the days early promise faded

Along with the light

What was clear however

Was that rain was on the way

Maybe even hill snow

But it was equally possible

That the sky will become blue again

And for some the sun may return
