wild water - haiku

wild water giggles

while its blanket of ice thaws

warming in sunshine

Fluffle

Well before the day wakes

I follow tracks across the front yard,

paw prints back and forth

create a trail over snowbanks

onto mine and neighbours property.

The o so familiar pattern broken

by dropped berries makes me smile,

already aware of the den under the veranda,

yet I worry for them as I’ve seen their enemies

seeking substance before light of day.

In darkness I leave for work

the cars headlights shine on movement

hopping across the street

not one, not two, but three!

the fluffle of bunnies are alive and well.

Snow Full Moon

Snow Full Moon rises over the river

its glow illuminates my home,

her bitter cold causes freshly fallen snow

to appear as sharply cut diamonds

creating an other-worldly sparkle

upon the landscape where soft flakes

once fell in silence and now

the crispness of the night echos underfoot

while the lone walker breaths

in her own silence of wonderment

while gazing at heavens presence on earth
