Haiku: winter

 another snow day

the sputtering smell

of the steam iron

winter hills

clinging to craggy rocks

an ice fall

Presence

Shamrock

Haiku

 snow in the night

I check his breathing

one more time

Haiku

 

                 mid-winter cold

                 the fragrance of fresh coffee

                 before the taste

Haiku for winter

snow day

long pauses between chores

stretching the quiet

third day of snow

retelling Grandpa’s stories

of his arrival

Frogpond

Presence

Haiku: winter

 

an icy blue sky

clear to the horizon

my calendar empty 

heavy snow

we watch old movies

in black and white

bus stop

the winter dance

of cold feet

Cattails

Haiku

                                                     
                                                                                ice floes
                                                                                stop and go traffic
                                                                                on the river road


                                                                               frigid temps
                                                                               the radiator's soft ping
                                                                               in the night


                                                                               spring thaw
                                                                               that dirt road
                                                                               going nowhere still

Haiku

                                                                        soft snow
                                                                        the cold floats down
                                                                        one flake at a time


                                                                        late winter cold
                                                                        long underwear
                                                                        frayed at the cuffs


                                                                        crackling in the air–
                                                                        on a frigid afternoon
                                                                        tea and ginger snaps

                                                  rain and snow
                                                  another closet
                                                  cleaned today

                             skeletal trees in deep snow shadow patterns

                                                  snowbound
                                                  all the bushes
                                                  shorter

Haiku

                                                               snow day
                                                            remembering
                                                           when it was fun

Haiku

                                                    sleety rain
                                            waiting on the embers
                                                    before bed

                                                    fresh snow                                            
                                            from his upper window
                                                 a neighbor's wave

                                                     light snow
                                              her long cape sweeps

                                                the steps clean
