Sun rises orange

Coloring its cloud canvas

Unable to warm

Winter’s hold is ever strong

‘Til spring unleashes its wrath

Virgin snow now black

Whore to man’s road salt and grime

The gutter its grave

Through blades of grass, green of stem
Call of birds, babies
Winter cannot hold them back
They are forces of nature

Struggling to cling to life
Springtime in the wings

Fingers Of Winter (Haiku)

Fingers of Winter

Tearing at natures chilled flesh

Black flies meet their fate

Winter has arrived
Calling in the end of life
Blossom waits for birth
