Sun bright shadows short
Winter white, cardinal red
The snow delights me |

wonderful to see winter celebrated in verse
White moon, insight
Cool shadows flick fast, snakes right
Snow delicate, light |

A change of weather.

Cumulous, grey
Ominously expanding skyward
Excitement of imminent downpour

Tangential as usual, I just wanted to share that I heard there was a Chinese poet who was beheaded for writing the poem:
| Quote: |
Cool Breeze, you cannot read.
Why keep turning pages?
|
Perhaps not coincidentally, the characters for "cool breeze" were also those that stood for the name of the Emperor, who either could read or who had someone around him who could read, interpret and advise. I heard this as an undergraduate and I don't recall the name of the poet or the Emperor. |

| What is haiku? Are the parameters close to what you guys have been writing? My thoughts run darker than what I read here, I'd be a downer. |
