NaHaiWriMo - day ten

10.

buffeted by wind

snow snakes across the field

trees offer no shelter

*

white sheet of sky

stark silhouettes of trees

prepared for winter

NaHaiWriMo - day nine

9.

where the river is

you are always in the center

where is the river?

*

i wake to birdsong

in the darkness everything creaks

the fog slowly lifts

NaHaiWriMo - day eight

8.

fading too quickly

vertical explosion of colour

ice rainbows in the sky

*

air crisp and sky white

sun hidden by tree branches

shifting sihouette

NaHaiWriMo - day seven

7.

the fields are empty

standing in the doorway

the sky so blue

 

*

 

opening the door

braced by the cold air

white rabbits scatter 

 

*

 

cirrus clouds feather

across the blue sky a bird

a single cry

NaHaiWriMo - day six

6.

the magpies chatter

flit from branch to branch

all other voices silent

*

a cloud of crows

voices chase me down the path

i enter the clearing

*

the chickadees swirl

wind tunnels through trees

everything buffeted

 

*

braced against the wind

i watch the river flow past

my eyes watering 

 

*

 

rabbit tracks zig-zag

on freshly fallen snow

traces of ghosts
