A superb Haiku, Mat. Unexpected phrases in 'The Shape of Winter,' like "...into the book of light," contribute to the creative originality of the piece. Your final line hits a bulls eye - how we wish a drunken serenade through winter days. Best wishes, Brian

Intriguing ink, sir... I myself find 'drunk' the best way to handle the howling winds and the icy pathways...

a lovely winter Haiku with a deep message about the metaphorical 'book of light.' Well done, Matt!

I'd rather spring sing to me, but I suppose winter has its own unique charms
