WINTER
He giveth snow
like wool:
he scattereth the hoarfrost
like ashes.

My haiku was published first in SMILE, a large print journal that was edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson.
December morning
cold and yet the sun
on orange pumpkins
Forsythia leaves are falling now too. The way the light falls on the perennial gardens and paths is beautiful. Daffodils, primroses, ferns, daylilies, and wildflowers will return. Orange pumpkins add bright color to the scene. As wonderful as the flowers were, are, and shall be β this restful beauty is so welcome. I enjoy October colors, and then November as well.
