seed away - haiku

 

finches and grosbeaks

flock to the feeder before

snow blows seed away

watcher

 

3:30 a.m. the watcher stares

out into the neighbourhood.

It is silent, and dark until

a figure appears plodding

along the street.

Another like the watcher

who can’t sleep this night,

walks alone in its own world.

One night the watcher

will join the figure offering a cuppa...

winds - haiku

 

winds roaring through fields

and forests, stripping limbs off

old growth trees, world aches

River Runs...

 

Ice formed on the river, shore to shore.

Cross country ski tracks appeared for a day.

I shook my head knowing the current

and deaths over the years from ignorance;

and wondered why anyone would dare fate.

One day later, the ice had melted.

Must have been a newbie to town.

sparkling - haiku

 

sky fills with snowflakes

falling languidly to earth,

sparkling coverlet
