swimming in the pond —

conserving energy
at the North Pole —
after the Christmas Eve flight
each of Santa’s reindeer
turns off her blinking nose
.
About my choice of pronoun “her” I found out by googling that Santa’s Christmas Eve reindeer are all female because males woujld have shed their antlers before winter!

bright winter days
A double haiku since I didn’t post anything yesterday:
bright winter days —
soaking up sun
a single white swan
floats
across
the
pond
~
bright winter days —
splash!
a tiny flock
of baby swans
follow their mom
.
cold winter days
.
cold winter days
jogging through the park
the snow covered fields
all my own
.
late winter night

late winter night
feeling the cold —
all the stars shine
like sparkling ice

winter fur coat

winter fur coat
mittens hat scarf
yet even my shadow
is frozen

frosty winds

frosty winds
all the world
covered
in white
snow

morning light

skips across the ice —
rainbow coi
swim deeper
in the lake
.
if women were birds
.
if women were birds
we’d sing the colors of joy —
rainbows
filled
with love
.
if dandelion puffs
.
if dandelion puffs
grew in the snow
I’d blow fluffy ice kisses
all the way to heaven
straight up to you!

visual dessert —
all the pine trees
frosted in snow

winter seascape

winter seascape —
seals with frosty breath
dive
into icy waves

chilly winter winds

chilly winter winds
snuggled in grandma’s quilt
every single tiny stitch
sewn with love
by hand
.
along the woodland’s edges
.
along the woodland’s edges
winter snowdrops
blossom in the snow
