Winter nights (haiku)

winter nights—

dreaming of blackbirds

on snow

Tanka No. 3: The sudden silence

 

Here is the third of my three tanka published in the latest issue of Gusts no. 32, Fall/Winter 2020:

 

 

even the crows
are quiet now . . .
the sudden silence
that morning snow
brings

 

 

 

 

Ice ferns . . . (tanka)

scraping ice ferns

off the windows

of our old jalopy –

such fragile beauty     

soon pushed aside

I was born

in a winter storm,

a tiny soul

almost lost

in a sea of white

Winter garden (a haiku)

This haiku is my first poem in the journal, Modern Haiku.

winter garden–
a lone crab apple
holds fast
