Clear Night in February Haiku

cold enough to kill
city lights shine in the dark
a dangerous jewel

The Lesson of Winter is Perseverance

against bare branches
and the crust of snow
red berries still hang,
saying, “persevere”

the wind stops burning
I feel sun on the face
one moment, then another

March Haiu: Ares Winds

march like a song, sad sigh
sun beats from the cloudless sky
dry sinus, cold hands
