A Poem a Day (319): Snow and 4 more haiku

 

The storm

 

Puddles writing words,

boots splash, coats tight, huddle down.

Faces dripping wet.

 

 

Strayed

 

Tied to a shop door,

a crouching brown dog whimpers.

Leaves whisper comfort.

 

 

Rough sleepers

 

Sleeping in boxes,

ice slips its fingers inside,

peers through the edges.

 

 

Snow

 

Frosted stars falling,

snowflakes dance in figure eights,

blanketing the moor.

 

 

Winter warmer

 

Chopping oranges,

citrus zests jest, red wine pours,

kissing as they mull.

If you like haiku, I have a collection of 365 for sale in the usual places. The book is called Life’s Rhythms and it’s available as an ebook (99p) or a paperback (around £5). I love blackbirds, so there is one on the cover :)
