such frail little birds
pecking at a frozen pond

Wake

Tags

nature, poem, poetry, sunshine, weather, winter

On a little bucolic verse

Wake me then when the cuckoos call
When the winds are warm
and the petals fall
From cherry trees

Let me rest while these harsh winds prowl
’til my heart is healed
Of long Winter’s growl
By Sun’s warm glow

Shivers

On Winter days

long shadows, short days
weary Sun too tired to climb
song birds long to sing

Madly

On a soft, moonlit night

face veiled in pale mist
Moon has a silver circlet
madly romantic

Comforts

comfort, fish, haiku, nature, pond, winter

On being glad I‘m not a fish

not moving a fin
goldfish in a winter pond
no snuggled comforts
