Haiku Number Four

Snowscape's white dazzling
Twilight falls -there's but a glow
Robin red breast sleeps

I love the contrast of red and white... robins really do stand out in the snow. BRAVO Deirdre! Best wishes, Keith (PS have you read Dylan's 'A Child's Christmas In Wales?' There's a passage about a dead robin 'all but one of his fires out.' ...stunning!)
