Snow-ku

Snow cloak. Pinecone gems.

Necklace of ice. Pines don their

Winter finery.

* * *

Leaden sky. No sun.

Snow sifting fine as sugar.

Drifts mound up like clouds.


* * *

Windless winter night.

Not everything is darkness:

Snow infused with stars.

* * *

Christmas lights jewel

the snow beneath the windows.

Bright blooms of color.

Care to share your own winter haiku? I’d love to read them.

  1. Being a person who loves snow, this just made my day! 🙂
    Are all those photos taken around your home? And when?! Did ya’ll get that much snow just recently?!
    Ok, sorry for the numerous snow questions. But I told you I love it.

  2. I love this one:

    Windless winter night.
    Not everything is darkness:
    Snow infused with stars.

    It’s got the surprise twist at the end that is the goal of haiku (right? I think I remember that from a lit class…)

    What a wonderful series of poems and photos.

    Yeah, your’s are way better. I think I’ll keep my day job.

  4. Awe pretty poems 🙂 I’m sure if I wanted to be really artsy I could write one, but then if I made it public I would probably embarrass myself to death. I tend to do that.
