Winter Haiku

alabaster marble

under a blanket of snow,

the final resting

filaments of flakes

form cords of frozen crystals,

shimmers in street lights

hedge with snow laden

branches, sags under the weight,

home to resting doves

dried hydrangea heads

wear their winter tuques of white,

tassels of new flakes

full Wolf Moons halo

calls to me through closed shutters,

I become restless

cardinal of red

silhouetted in feeder,

twilights sepia

one foot of white shite

and counting this frigid night,

drapes drawn til morn light   ;)
