WINTER

The house in darkness. I watch thick flakes descending slowly. They seem suspended as if in a viscous liquid. Bushes assume a rounded shape; fences appear to sink into the ground. A deep quiet without and within. Even the mechanical noices of the appliances are subdued and still. I stand tranfixed.

falling snow-
between dusk and darkness
there is no time

Very nice haibun, Adelaide. Prose and haiku compliment each other perfectly. Note typo in first sentence...

Thank you Gillena and Frank. And thanks for noting the typo. I've fixed it.
