Friday haiku 6

Today’s haiku is actually a tanka, just to see if you’re paying attention. As always, you can respond in haiku if you wish, or not in haiku, for that matter. Enjoy.

A cardinal, its fire
blazing red,
on the last green branch
summer hopes
frozen

A tanka for the changing season

Change comes
And the wind looms
In the late winter sky
How suddenly small and low
The walls around us

A tanka for winter

Bitter snow
A handful of vagrant seeds
Juncos all alight with hunger
In the teapot
Leaves grow cold

Midsummer tanka

Night falls slowly in
A descending gauze curtain
Snagging on sunrise
Hesitant, ambiguous
Like interrupted breathing.
