Haiku--By Kelley White--United States

April 25th
Spring peepers singing
in a frozen pond.

~ ~ ~

dry leaves
shake the night birches
cricket chirp

~ ~ ~

hurrying
to my mother’s bedside
harvest moon

~ ~ ~

the scarecrow’s shadow
crosses my path
autumn chill
  
~ ~ ~

Stark winter sunlight
cracks the ice outside the door–
starting the trip homehttps://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif
