A.M. Country Walk
Cold, shadow-captured
dew, a crystalline carpet.
My feet cause soft crunch.

His smile “spelled” me like
a still, clean winter forest.
I inhaled crisp hope.

Friends extend heart-hearths.
Their hot chocolate laughter

Winter’s white velvet sleep. My

Grand, sly confection. Morning's

Silver drops slap at –
slither – down panes. Sheltered, we’re
mindfully cozy.

Loved all of these! They perfectly capture the season ~R. :)
Excellent. Like a bit of chocolate on the tongue. Just enough.
These will make me think twice before cursing the chilled air when I go out today. Nicely done.
You do this well. Haiku is a form I cannot deal with. Most of my stuff is what might be called lowku.
Yes, lovely.
Yes, lovely.
These encapsulate the season - so much great imagery in so few words. Bravo, libby!
You have a poetic soul. Beautiful.

Libby, very soulfully etched. Honest sense of proportion. Love your delicate, yet sharp imagery. Thank you. R>>>>>>>>

beautiful poetry, sore subject anymore
snow that once filled me with brisk pleasure
now reminds me of shovelling out the car each morning
Still.. when the time comes
embrace it
I'd love to see you on OurSalon, not to abandon OS
but as my G Rated place to invite my church friends
take care

So beautiful. Makes me miss winter, just a little bit.

I love your multi-faceted portraits of winter. They're chilling and that's a compliment.
