3 MORE HAIKU
Framing seasons three
Winter starts and ends the year
Annual bookends
***
A breath of warm air
She comes around the mountain
Chase Winter away
***
She pushes forth life
Her pungent verdant bower
Earth's labour's give birth
3 WINTER HAIKU
Winter ice on trees
glitters like festive tinsel
under morning sun
***
When days are shorter
fiercely blows the winter wind
piling snow in drifts
***
Frigid air on skin
Persistent chill burrows deep
Winter wet and cold
