Haiku for the New Year

[phesina]

I got a lot of those kinds of requests too, Karen, and my reaction is the same as yours.

Kindness doesn't need
A specific time of year
To be acted on.

[Karen]

Perfect bitter cold
Night to end the year’s first day
Even grass crunches

Stars painfully sharp
On winter nights, it seems, or
Does cold just fool us?

[Karen]

Snow is coming, so
Say the forecasters, but just
A wee bit, then rain

And still my heart cries,
"Yay!!!" deep inside, while others
Commence grumbling

I so adore snow
Winter days made prettier
At least while it falls!
