Five Ku

autumn ambles slowly shuffling through fallen leaves dodging Winter’s kiss crumpled pumpkins frown sparrows await a sunrise a barn cat stretches seagulls battle gusts crabs wander an empty beach icy froth glistens as wolves sniff the wind cowering beneath its howl a cold hunger waits a lone snowy owl shakes the frost from its feathers in frigid silence

John such a mix of wonderful wintry Haiku's, describing autumn's transition to winter and giving great examples of the animals reaction to the coming cold winter. Liked the " as wolves sniff the wind cowering beneath it's howl a cold hunger waits." How vivid is that and such a powering truth to think of? I am always impressed with your creative mind. Thank you for posting and sharing. Blessings my friend...
