Five Seasonal Haiku

FIVE SEASONAL HAIKU

frozen is the moon
every star an icy tear
odd sort of beauty

frost nipped the pumpkin
charmed us all but never left
strange jack-o-lantern

hear their forlorn howl
misting muzzles raised on high
cruel winter’s heralds

sitting by the hearth
old dog asleep and dreaming
hot wood fire crackling

mantel clock    tick tock
two mice in breadbox eating
i without a care
