hid by winter’s frozen shawl –
Whispers on cold winds

The spirit renews

Glimpses of life in colour —
Snatched by a snow cloud

Sorrow in the wind
A draft keeping me awake
This cold moonless night

Haiku: Wanderers
Walking in the snow,
we wanderers
are on track —
step out in the sun

The day snow returned,
buds showing on the blackthorn —
chilblains on my toes

Haiku: Waiting
Birds announce the spring
whilst winter’s cold grasp lingers.
Waiting can be sweet

Haiku: Winter Sun
Precious, meagre sun
Fingers and thumbs numbed by cold
Praise returning warmth

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