Winter
Darkness closes in
Winter comes softly creeping
Hiding in the shadows
Snowflakes
Big wet snowflakes
Hold hands as they dance toward earth
Melting hearts are warm
Cardinals
Red Cardinals arrive
Filling their gullets with seeds
For a long cold night
Carolina Wren
Hyper little wren
Nervous always moving round
Chipper little friend
Chickadee
Black-capped Chicakadee
Dressed in his gray and white tux
Eat seeds with abandon

Great haiku and photos! We haven’t had but a few flurries here in SW MO but it dropped to 16 degrees last night! I’ve been seeing quite a bit of bird activity (and spiders and wasps, too) so Spring is getting closer!

This is just winters last gasp!! Spring will be here before you know it. It snowed last night and was gone by tonight. Too warm to stay around. Thanks Deb!

This gives me a wintery feeling! 🙂 We didn’t have no winter at all till now. (Well, here in the north we had exactly seven (7) snow flakes that were melted before they even touched the ground). We do have lots of wind and rain, while the cherry blossoms are out already. This is a strange winter.

We had our first snow last night, but it was gone by afternoon today. It was beautiful to see, but short lived. This was a very warm wet winter for us as well. Spring is just around the corner. Thanks Peter!
