My daughter and I sometimes like to write poetry. Today, with the snow swirling, we settled in by the fire after our walk to put some words down. I’m enjoying the haiku form lately–what I know of it–and had a few ideas.

FALL AIR

Tiny snowflakes swirl

stinging cheeks, nose, chin, ears–

Pink chilled November

LEAF CYCLE

Leaf-glow fades to brown.

They float down to rest, melting,

rejoining the earth.

LOW SKY GIFTS

Low, thick, half-dome sky

White-gray clouds with autumn gifts:

Thirsty earth refilled.
