Arctic hare wears white.

Canadian geese take flight.

Alaska winter.

snowshoes slip the slope

natives seeking spring in hope

icebergs and tundra

Haiku... elegant in it's simplicity. I'll have to start delving into some of this poetry stuff. Well writ young lady.

THANKS JP! This form helps keep the image clean and simple, yet offers room for profound ideas at the same time.
LOL, not that my thoughts are profound, but nature itself surely is.

Hi Kacy

These are really pretty Haikus.
I love to try to write these. They
are fun to do. Aren't they?

Hugs,

Thanks Wind and Ethel. Yes, haikus are fun and since the form requires brevity, it forces you to focus more tightly on the thoughts and imagery.

soon come the crocus,
peeking through leftover snow,
melting winter woes
