Haiku

stumbling rocks
on the snow
a goat's step

a running drop
from leaf to leaf
the valley mist

the spotted lake
shimmers its waters
a rainbow curves

buried in white
a fake flower
the tombstone

a lightning strike
the weeping willow
dries its tears

the squirrel leaps
on a tall tree
hazelnut treasures
