Hoar Frost

When the hoar frost spins, spiderwebs of feathered ice, the sun does not shine.

lovely Haiku, Jerry. Your words remind me of the native American term 'the hoar frost moon' that my dad told me about. Anyway, delightful imagery. Have a blessed evening, Sara

I love this one, Jerry. One note, if I may...it doesn't need the punctuation.

Thanks for the info, Jim. These are the first attempts at something other than throwing some words onto paper. I appreciate any critiques. Have a glorious day my friend.

Hoar frost and ice flowers are usually signs of rapid temperature drops.
