Darkness pushes through,
Meets the eastern sunrise and
Greets the summer day
Serpentine river
Races with snaky road to
Kiss the edge of town
Getting colder now
River meanders and stops
To take an ice nap
White on white landscapes
Infertile fallow trees crack
Under heavy weight
The sound of winter
Is cold grey silence, naked
Contrast, white on white

The haiku sequence creates a real feel of cyclic seasons. I especially like the ‘cold grey silence.’
Thanks so much Britton. I haven’t had time to read poems yet. 👍
