Piles of snow turning
Black. Gutters filled with snow melt.
January thaw.

The holidays? Over.
Reality sets in now.
Going back to work.

Clear sky, quarter-moon.
Air so cold my beard freezes.
Snow crunches underfoot.

A full day of snow.
Tonight, high winds building drifts.
I’ll stay inside, thanks.

I spend far too much time--generally, 5 hours a week, in two blocks, on interstate highways. And sometimes it gets difficult.

Just for a moment
The rhythm of the highway
Sings to me "...come…sleep..."

I composed this last night, while trying to fall asleep. I wrote it down (and did a little editing) this morning.

The pond froze last night.
Today, the setting sun
Turned the ice to gold.

We work up early this morning, with the sun just beginning to rise. And I do seem to be attracted to sunrises when writing haiku...so, here's the first:

The sun has risen
Just a little earlier…
The new year begins.
