Silence tiptoes
Through golden brown, harvested fields;
First mist biting.

Desolate air-
The frigid dancing snowflakes
Tickle my cheeks.

Banked fire
Covers withered house-
Winter seclusion.

Wilted flowers
Under the harsh blanket of sleet-
Dreams of warmth.

Waves of frost
Dissipate under kisses of sunshine;
One mountain rose.


The author's comments:
The winter months somehow always brings a hint of sadness, whether it is the never-ending chill that triggers it or the end of christmas. I wrote this themed haiku to reflect on the magic of winter and the hope for spring.
