cold night
the street vendor hands me
a roasted chestnut

cold evening--
the newspaper seller
reading a florida pamphlet
Long awaited spring
Flowers bent in thankful pose
Life's resurrection.
blooming flowers
cold front passing through ...
what's wrong with this picture
cape cod nor'easter--
my cottage afloat
in drifting snow
late july...
i pull an ice cold beer
from Lake Superior
Tropical cold front...
mid-seventies.
I drink hot soup.
ah, an aussie. Enjoyed your haiku Sue ...
best wishes for 2004.

PS: like Ed's poem too
winter sting
paying US$5 for simple noodle
at tokyo roadside
pouring down rain
didn't dampen our spirits
...anniversary in Carmel
enjoyed the contrast of cold and warmth in this & especially liked the power and possibilities in the verb.
In the dark of night
the light of a lampstreet
gathers butterflies
winter hot chestnuts
the discovery how cold
being penniless can be
.
Easter week
we skinny dip in snow melt
near Tioga Pass

eating boiled peanuts --
in the rain
steam rising
from the kettle
