Haiku for the New Year

[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!
