chocolate Yule log

dusted with icing sugar -

snow covered hills

Christmas lights -

cherry blossom

still in bloom.

through this path

no one comes unheard

leaves separately frozen

chilled air penetrate

loosen tension

and my brain relax

yellow code

yellow code –

roofs flying over

the city

Diana Teneva

packy snow
I'll carve diem
into snowmen

full snow moon
the slowness of shadows
caught in branches

Haiga 203

hvidt forneden
mørke foroven
spor i den lyse nat

-

White below
darkness above
in the bright night
tracks

a weather-wound cloud
pulls in the sun -
spring swallowed

a crisp sheet of cloud
slips over the sun -
spring forestalled

a song of daybreak
"birdie, birdie, birdie" -
spring surrendered

no whisper of sleds
nor scraping of shovels
the snow simply rained

cold moon

cold moon

on the swing still swinging

a child’s shoe

hladan mjesec

na ljuljački se još ljulja

dječja cipelica

Honorable mention in  

DIOGEN INTERNATIONAL WINTER HAIKU COMPETITION 

FOR HAIKU, SENRYU AND TANKA – 2012

A leaf
boldly floats downstream
unaware of
the guided current
beneath 

Trees sway together;

Wind roars around snowed mountain;

Hens cluck nervously.

..bored

let me amuse myself
by counting snowflakes
by the window
a curious neighbor spies
by my door and it's boring

..circa 2009..(C)2013 Spiros Zafiris
..channeled; spirit Harmony

From the deep
emerging green
melting ice

Crows morning discussion
temporarily stopped
when the street lights went out

In the darkest corners
hidden secrets
no soul without corners

The wind is restless,
It blows sunshine up the road
And into my face.

Through high misted clouds

Opal moon shines on the snow;

Tracing tree shadows.

Rephrasing haiku 534

Shadow trees
outlined by snow
in silent night

-
Dark trees
marked with snowlines
in silent night

-

Skyggetræer
sne markerer linjerne
i den stille nat

Black snowbird

In snow covered bush
playing hide-and-seek
a Blackbird

After I wrote this and title it, I found that a “snowbird” when talking about people is a term, among others, for people who have a second home in warmer locate in winter.

..leafless

leafless now
they face us and we know
they're cold
there are no coats for them
yet, more of us will not  rebloom

..Sat., Jan. 12, 2013..(C)2013 Spiros Zafiris
..channeled; spirit Harmony, reaching
into the poet's mind
~~

ripened slice of light
unwraps the world from darkness
freeing a new year

..winter

it  takes a while
for them to clear this storm's
mounds of snow...
I met her on such a wintry
day--we were so happy then

sunrise--

the morning enters

without a knock
