Lights of New Year's Eve
(a haiku series)
In Kiribati
They get to celebrate first
Fireworks dazzle
In New York City
The glittering Wedgwood ball
Descends to applause
At the frozen poles
Mindless of the calendar
Aurorae flicker
Winter's Breath
(haiku)
Ice crystals forming
On the shiverstruck window
Reflect the fire's glow
The Ice Storm
(haiku)
Rain freezes and drips
Stark crackles and icy slips
In winter's embrace
=====haiku is a Japanese form of short poetry that is comprised of three lines, in a 5-7-5 syllable pattern, usually with nature or the natural world as the subject. It is intended to challenge the poet to distill an observation to its essence to create the simplest, purest, and most powerful impression.===
