Winter Haiku 11:14
11
frozen twigs lie low
gray fox roams the winter fields
the hungry squirrel
12
silence grows louder
the desolate lily pond
croaking toad has left
13
i heard your laughter
at night the light of your face
heart bleeds in the snow
14
a thousand journeys
through hills and icy rivers
to hold your warm hand

mutton stew with wine
red flames dance the flamenco
tango you and i
8
rain beads on branches
pearls of tears sparkle at night
break of dawn brings joy
9
songbirds warble still
defy the winter starkness
crocus bulbs awake
10
frost on blue mountain
Li Po drinks his wine again
where to go from here

my winter blanket
soothes the sorrow of my bones
i await the dawn
5
beside you i lie
there is warmth this winter night
cherry blossoms sleep
6
crystal morning light
snow and infinite green pines
egret wings take flight

Winter Haiku 1:3
1
stars from sapphire sky
fragrance of jasmine flowers
snow in early dawn
2
sugar-sprayed branches
cardinal alights in snow
my heart a gazelle
3
polka dots of snow
tapestries sewn by the wind
bridal veil of lace

Perchance I would meet you again
this wintry evening
out in numb forgotten fields
of longing,
I would
touch once more the warmth
of your calloused hands,
rest in the snugness
of your tight embrace —
I would
drown in the wine
of your tender eyes,
slumber
in the lullaby
of your gentle voice —
Perchance I would meet you again
this wintry evening,
the silent
white of snow would turn
into summer dew,
parched stalks of grass
into golden daffodils.
