About This Poem

early morning frost

early morning frost—
a squirrel empties fat cheeks
inside the old log


a flutter of wings
at Sol’s dawning—
damp bare branches

    Two wonderful haiku verses Connie; both very ordinary events made so special with your pen.

    Beautiful haiku! I like the one about the squirrel especially. The bushy tailed ones deserve to be written about. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

    Heya Connie, haven't seen you around for awhile. A big congrats on your placement in Charles' contest! A strong set of haiku here, especially like the sensory input of sound in your 2nd haiku. Well done.
