Winter haiku



ceaseless creaking—
the dry woods moan
in the night wind

                                                                  shifting its weight
                                                                  lake ice booms in the night
                                                                  the owls applaud

                                                                                                                                    all day
                                                                                                                                    trickling snow melt—
                                                                                                                                    noisy teapot for company
