Category: Nordic Ski Haiku

Well-trodden path
Hush of falling snow
Bounding whitetails

Twisting hills
Blanket of snow
Slumbering folds

Rosy warmth
Late winter sun
On my face

Silver bark
On the old oak trees
Grouse take flight

These thirsty lungs
Stars through the haze
Swallowing the sky

Weather warning
The still forest
Gathering snow

Wordless sky
The dark settles in
Skis through the snow

Skiers on the prowl
Ears tuned for the howl
Of a moonlit wolf

Is there any sound
So quiet
Pastel sunrise

Black boughs
Shouldering the snow
Making my way home
