A winter Collection of haiku's

Author: shadow1950

icicles dangling
glittering silver droplets
slowly they will melt

slush everywhere slush
left behind by melting snow
land now watery

ice glistening bright
vast expanse over the lake
now here until spring

arctic snow flurries
sweep across the barren lands
settling in drifts

snow falling softly
clothing all the world in white
drifting aimlessly

Shadow, as usual, your descriptive power of Nature is fantastic. I can almost see the icicles and the snow. I enjoyed your lovely poem.
Have a beautiful day!
