Backyard Haiku Week #4

My goal is to write one haiku per day this year, starting on the day before the inauguration. It is meant to be both inspiration and distraction. We’ll see how long it lasts.

Everyone’s worried

About ice on the roads, but

I plan to stay home

###

Seeing lots of green

on this dark and dreary day

Eagles on the mind

###

A small patch of sun

Makes us forget for a time

The looming darkness

###

At the garden’s edge

Golden rod glows a color

Worthy of its name

###

There’s nothing quite like

The soundless sound of new snow

Falling in the night

###

A Wyeth painting

Dropped into my yard today -

Pennsylvania hues.

###

Trapped under the snow,

The stoic armadillo

Hopes I’ve brought my broom
