in the bitter cold
the night moving with such grace
soon dawn approaches

I adore the simplicity, as well as the challenge of Haiku. The constraints focus my mind, seeking out the essence of the moment, feeling, notion, distilling it to brilliant singularity.

a few hints of snow
guarded by the bitter cold
graced by the starlight

sunlight's gentle way
moving slowly over snow
clouds cover the sky
Another day with snow. This snow, though, has settled in. Nothing new during the day.
I created this in Canva, which is a lot of fun.

in the winter's sky
mountains rising through the wind
beyond bitter cold

the morning snowfall
soon to be trampled by life
fading in the sun
The past few mornings have featured snow. Usually it’s melted by early afternoon. I’m grateful that it’s not become a giant ball of ice overnight.
A Sunday Haiku
while the clouds moved past
winter's power continues
sleet and snow descend
Tonight’s Haiku: January 31, 2025
this winter rainfall
gently upon the rooftop
silence of the night
Today’s Haiku: January 26, 2025
sunlight in the cold
bitter frost upon the grass
the grace of my coat
It’s been a cold couple of days here on the PNW. Looks like it’s been quite cold (brutal?) throughout a lot of the US. I’ve had the additional annoyance of fighting a nasty and belligerent cold. The remaining symptom: coughing. I’ve had to reschedule one dentist appointment, and that looks like it’ll become two. Sigh…
I hope 2025 has been kinder to you.
Tonight’s Haiku: January
winter moves forward
cold air underneath the clouds
this infectious gloom
Today’s Haiku: January 3, 2024
within winter's depths
and sunlight's power reduced
life resists the gloom
