i)

snowdrop bends her head
wheatstalk whispers in her sleep
of ice feather leaves

ii)

a summer sun sinks
dying leaves touch life within
growth in melting ice

iii)

this path is snowbound
my thoughts are a setting sun
hiding in brown leaves

iv)

tiger sky rains hail
on a rooftop grass seeds drink
thirsty for summer

rain runs down your face
melts the ice; the sun comes out
turning, we leave happy

In awe at your gems~
Such nice images conjured~
A pat on your back

A job well done,allan

like the third one best...
this path is snowbound--can refer to the harsh obstacles we have to face in life

my thoughts are a setting sun---similarly as the sun sets, my thoughts turn miserably dark

hiding in brown leaves--like the sun, my positive attitude is hiding somewhere dead

do wonder if that was the kind of sentiments you were aiming for..will love to read your take on this one

wonderful, beautiful much enjoyed.

Allan~
These are remarkably well-done Haiku.

Thank you all very much!

snowdrop bends her head
wheatstalk whispers in her sleep
of ice feather leaves

snowdrop = Spring
wheatstalk = Summer
leaves = Autumn
ice = Winter

a summer sun sinks
dying leaves touch life within
growth in melting ice

growth = Spring
summer sun
leaves = Autumn (again)
ice = Winter (again)

this path is snowbound
my thoughts are a setting sun
hiding in brown leaves

OK - you got me, only 3 here!

tiger sky rains hail
on a rooftop grass seeds drink
thirsty for summer

rain = Spring (April showers!)
seeds = Spring
hail = Winter
Summer

Ahh! Only 3 again!

Kaile, interesting symbolism you've found in there!

I didn't intentionally (consciously) use them but the Haiku seems an ideal form for bringing the sub-conscious to light!
