Haiku

Haiku for Winter

cold sunshine
the stray orange cat
tucked into itself

sleety rain
flowered umbrellas
sold out

blizzard winds
a spider shivering
in the window

You've caught the season very well.

Thanks, Bill. Last week that spider wasn't the only one shivering.

These work together so well as a sequence, Adelaide . . . . I particularly like the image of the stray cat curling into itself!

Best wishes for the new year!

Thanks, Maggie. Glad you stopped by. I found out that this cat is not a stray, but lives at the end of our road. A born wanderer apparently.
