Winter Haiku - Tanka 1.0

sleeves flap and freeze
ice forms  - rings my hood
sink deep into Sherpa robes

forest is winter dark
branches black overhead
pond hardens for skates

ice pellets rain
sharp icy stings
dog hides in robes
runs back inside
she's done her cold time

  1. Oooh I need some of those sherpa robes. Love the dog running back inside. Smart dog! Mine is senile and keeps wanting Out. We argue:)
