haiku/ senryu suite (first flakes gently land)
first flakes gently land
autumnal palette erased
winter blooms from fall
evergreens covered
fence posts topped with ice cold caps
snow decoration
gusty winds briskly
twirl fresh fallen hexagons
chilled ballerinas
frost creates etched glass
wind driven sleet parades streets
fireplace glow welcomed
cars negotiate
scalloped drifts line icy roads
havoc created
short days with long nights
appreciative young lovers
nighttime mystery
‘neath snow laden trees
moonlight reflects icy crust
wintertime mirror
squeals and laughter heard
children skate on frozen pond
Christmas vacation
white turns dirty gray
yet another layer falls
world is newly cleansed
colorful lights twinkle
pine trees dressed for the season
holidays are here
