snow settles softly
frosted ground and brittle branch
mornings bring comfort
**
mom died on this day
i was old and sadder then
i am younger now
***
sun shines bright and clear
barred owl visits, crow calls
winter brings wildness
****
tis the season to
be jolly, yet we lament
(strange human nature)
Haiku are unrhymed poems of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables and offer a description of the natural world in objective terms. Senryū are about human foibles and can be more cynical or darkly humorous. I think you will be able to tell which is which.
I hereby declare that this written work is entirely my own creation and was not generated using artificial intelligence. All wording, structure and ideas are conceived and organically grown from my own unique human experience, personal thoughts, efforts, knowledge and research.

Thank you dear Iva! xo Wishing you all the blessings of the season. xox
Beautiful, sistah! I love the discipline of haiku. Not long after we moved to the mountains, I wrote this haiku:
These green mountains! Here, Nature gathered the earth’s folds To pillow Her head.
I have really enjoyed your books! I am sharing them with sistahs who will also appreciate them!
Stay warm and be well. 💜
Peace AND Prosperity, Kate
