Haiku: Dank

Two swans through the mist;
drops hang from dank bare branches
Crow’s caw breaks the gloom

Haiku: Southing

the sun moving south
the north withdraws its spirit –
gather round the fire

Staring from inside
grateful to be warm and dry
Patterns on the glass

Oak-seers’ footsteps
hid by winter’s frozen shawl –
Whispers on cold winds

Young ones love the frost
They hanker for drifting snow
I watch from inside
