midafternoon slant
of light in the pale blue sky
vanilla and ice
Bright, Cold December Day Haiku
midafternoon slant
of light in the pale blue sky
vanilla and ice
midafternoon slant
of light in the pale blue sky
vanilla and ice
a flash of red wings
sudden against the gray sky
buoys my winter heart
cold enough for coats
big round moon in the pale sky
I trudge up the hill
