John Freeman Poet Haiku

Season Blues

~blue northern winds
           a frolicking arctic  
                    whistling the blues

~blue skies darken 
          the sun’s eyelid is closed 
                    life dares to dream

~blue bulb tulips
          adamant potential   
                    life given stores
 
 ~blue dormancy
           frozen earthly landscape 
                     fur bearing seals
