Upstate New York | the haiku diaries

A birthday hello
to my haiku sister. Miles
apart yet…next door.

Beautiful day —
we hold on to them like nuts
gathered by squirrels.

Cool, damp, and dreary —
appropriate weather for
my neck of the woods.

Breezy, puffy-cloud
day reminds me why I love
where I choose to live.

Seasonable out —
cool, might rain (might not), cloudy —
neither here nor there.

Frost on the pumpkin —
lovely walk under the stars
through the cool, crisp air.

Wind through the pines is
a memory from the farm —
sound triggers barn smell.

There’s a big yellow
ball in the sky — it’s the sun!
A happy surprise.

A wintery mix
covers the trees — we call it
snain (snow mixed with rain).

Warmer weather ‘neath
steel gray sky — more snow coming —
we’re in winter’s grip.
