1. Hot Coffee
Hot coffee in my hand, before it snows again – all routine I need.
2. White Room
I met you in a white room in a dream. You knew of me already.
3. Silent
Something freezes the hand. All this dross is said, but the word remains silent.
4. Long Day’s Work
The father comes home after a long day's work, his hands cold and calloused.
5. A Touch of Spring
A touch of spring on my hand teases me, her bralette down and off her chest.
6. Snowglobe
This winter, you know, you will find me all alone, in my snowglobe home.
7. Suicide Season II
The rope beckons forth another victim, trembling at death's edge again.
8. The Next Best Thing
The next best thing will never come. Still, you're running, going nowhere fast.
9. Silhouetted Trees
Silhouetted trees against the smoke gray sky show beauty in the night.
10. Cherish
I cherish every silent moment, no matter how brief and fleeting.
11. Melt The Ice Away
Melt the ice away and let our new world breathe, to take your sweet release.
Nice haiku collection for February, Madeline. I was meaning to read this yesterday but got hit with a semi-flu. Getting better! Thanks for sharing these. :)
I loved 1, 7, and 10 the most!
Great work here. Reminds me of Benno’s haikus of the season.
Hope all is well!
