as I walk through frosted trees –
the frigid moon greets

A great tit’s insistent call
We all wish for spring

I follow the crow
He serves no master at all –

into hanging mists

the sun breaking through

A robin singing
from his heart, the only way —
living the moment

whilst winter’s cold grasp lingers.

Haiku: Easterly Wind
Cold easterly wind
bringing snow and lurid light —
starlings gathering

Through the creeping light
night and day undivided;
a thousand birdsongs
