Winter Haiku
In celebration of the winter solstice
I catch snowflakes in
The palm of my open hand
They sting, then they’re gone
*
Giant golden moon
Hovers on the dark highway
Whispering love notes
Caught in a snow dream
Lights flicker in distant homes
Far from my cold gaze
*
Branches of winter
Catch in the hem of my sleeve
As I head homeward
Lanterns after dusk
Guide me through the darkest night
Lead me home to you
A gorgeous journey from my Summer to your Winter....

I dug through my haikus from years back. This was the closest to a wintery theme.
ducks bob and dive
wintering on the Ottawa River
surrounded by ice
At least I tried.
