Winter Soon Will Go

footprints left in snow

    by the passing of a doe

      ... a trail to and fro


sun shines on the ground
 
   reflects off snow all around

     .... icy patches found


winter weather cold
 
   though sun is bright to behold

       ... spring will soon unfold


buds bloom through the snow

   lifting heads to colours show

     ... winter soon to go

Francine, you must really be anxious for spring. Let's try trading places -- you can live at my house where it's in the 70s now and I'll gladly welcome those last footprints of winter's snow. Great write for Carol's contest. I do love haiku poems that rhyme and you did a terrific job with this one! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
