awakening (haiku cluster)

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind


Chill spreads through the land,
Branches bare, skies hold their breath,
Snow's touch soon to come.


Frost whispers softly,
Bare earth awaits its white cloak,
Winter’s gift unfolds.


In twilight’s quiet,
Hope stirs with each frosty breath,
Snowfall's gentle kiss.


Trees reach silent arms,
Night's first flake drifts to the ground,
World awakens bright.


Hearts lift in stillness,
Snow's embrace brings tranquil glow,
Dim days find new light.

      Thanks O

      Like a winter storm, each poem of flake falls, and accumulates until by the end, the ground is covered in white and a new beauty is painted. A wonderful cluster of haiku

      • arqios

        Hopefully there will be less winter disasters this year! Thanks Soren.

        each one a perfect little literary gem in its own right, but as a cluster shine like some otherworldly orb or heavenly jewel ..

        • arqios

          Thanks N. Together they are brilliant!

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Great write. With SAD, I am really longing for the new light. I want to love winter, but it is so very hard on me. One day at a time, right? LOL! Excellent write. With that said, there is nothing more peaceful and calming that a first snow ❄️ fall. This haiku sequence captures that brilliantly! Bravo friend! ❤️

          • arqios

            Had to deal with SAD on and off over the years. But it is a real thing.You are right, one day at a time, even there are days and moments that feel like there's no way out.

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Oh. You are right on there. 💯 Thank you for understanding. That said, I don't want my SAD to put a sad cloud on your beautiful, and I do mean beautiful, poem. ☺️ It really did capture the beauty of the first snow for me...I am actually now excited to see it and, honestly, we have a snow storm warning in our area right now! LOL! 🤞

                Oh my! One year we had to cancel a trip to NY because of an Arctic blast. Be safe and keep your spirits up. 🙏🏻

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Will do!

                  Five haiku which gift the reader with a beautiful winter wonderland. From first flakes to a complete covering of the ground. From day to night. Quite lovely. A cluster of visual delight.

                  • arqios

                    Thanks Cassie.The fourth one has a particular shine, that is agreed upon!

                        Wonderful Haikus arqios.

                          Thanks Andy 🙏🏻

                          Beyond that you cannot persuade me to like anything to do with snow, I have to grudgingly admit your haikus formed a rich read, Rik.

                          • arqios

                            Pretty to look at, hell to shovel and trudge through!

                            • Doggerel Dave

                              Got that right. But unless you live around Thredbo, you would be happily free of that experience, surely.... Tokyo?

                              • arqios

                                Rarely, but close enough to such a drift.
