Winter River [Haiku]

between snowy banks,
a silvery river
slips through cold mountains.

White on White [Haiku]

angular granite:
softened by snowfall,
erased by cloud.

“The Snow Man” by Wallace Stevens [w/ Audio]

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place

For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Spring Snow [Haiku]

late Spring:
a dust of snow remains
on green mountains.

Dusky Winter Scene [Haiku]

church at dusk
looks shuttered and vacant, then
door creak, candle flame

Morning Mystery [Haiku]

winter day dawn:
single set of boot-prints
in fresh fallen snow.

“Soft Snow” by William Blake [w/ Audio]

I walked abroad in a snowy day:
I ask'd the soft snow with me to play:
She play'd & she melted in all her prime,
And the winter call'd it a dreadful crime.

Piano Mind [Haiku]

snow has fallen.
cars of many colors, all white:
a piano-esque lot.

Quiet City Snow [Haiku]

overnight snow
falls on a quiet city;
it awakes to white.
