HAIKU
Pine needle carpets
embrace the cold forest floor
before the first snow

WINTER WOE
Today it’s very cold outside
Drippy nose
Frozen toes
Weather’s right for a nice sled ride
Cough and wheeze
Great big sneeze
Snow-fun beckoned, and so I tried
Slipped and fell
Painful yell
Bruised my body and my pride
Home in bed
Bandaged head
Tomorrow I will stay inside

WINTER CURSE
When harvest days are over
And leaves have left the trees
November blows her cold breath
And we all cough and wheeze

HAIKU
Fall’s great masterpiece
wiped from nature’s huge canvas
winter’s quick cold hand

HAIKU
Brittle umber leaves
pirouette to the cold ground
in their dance of death

SAD OLD SCARECROW
Sad old scarecrow, tattered and torn
I think I heard him cry,
or did the wind just sigh?
No wonder poor thing’s so forlorn —
no duty to uphold,
he shivers in the cold,
in summer clothes he’s always worn

HAIKU
April’s big surprise
icicled birdhouse shivers
blue eggs, marble cold
