Shades Of Winter

white flakes blow on air leaving mists on window pane like frozen gray smoke while the ground shines in silver and trees are capped in white white lights hang at night and Christmas trees glow in red ~ blue shuns every door white Christmas spirit fills the air~ blue feelings loiter everywhere Forms: tanka, haiku, monoku *There's no winter season in our country so I used my imagination* *I wrote this originally as entry in a contest, only to find out later that the formats I used did not fit the contest criteria. I share it anyway.* December 24, 2023, PST, SPC
