Winter Haiku String

it is coming back
the cold cruel touch of winter
be ready for it

the cold is coming
December’s winter solstice
start of the season

ubiquitous white
the snow is found everywhere
a wintertime scene

after the sun sets
darkness brings cold in winter
a typical night.

I could easily make out what was being strung on this string of winter magic, Robert. one little hint for you. Charles loves it when we do not capitalize or punctuate these! (if it's for his contest) Thanks for your sweet comment just now. andrea

In my old age I am never ready for winter. It becomes progressively depressing. That's Michigan. Good set. Love, Dave
