Haiku - Winters Tribulations
HAIKU - WINTERS TRIBULATIONS
~~~~~~
bold... the jenny wren
brazenly makes itself heard
twelve grams of pleasure
~~~
the starling mimics
its feathers dusted heaven
iridescent hues
~~~
ornithologists
bird watchers, spotters, twitchers
bird carers all
~~~
o the winter cold
fingers shrivel... nigh frozen
home... warm... hot achs... thawed
~~~
fickle winter days
hazel bloomed three months early
no autumn nuts
~~~
the wrath of winter
ice sheets... snow blankets... cold beds
resilient wildlife
~~~
the devil thwarted
hark... you'll not beat me... it swore
winter -50... spring hiding
~~~
spring sprites play music
snowdrops shake off cold winter
rivers free to flow
~~~
winter... sunny days
steals the warmth... in vain
sunlight nurtures
~~~
fresh growth braves the cold
green tips protrude... seeking light
summer warmth awaits
