Winter Storm-Haiku

Nithya Venkat enjoys writing about nature and different aspects of life in the form of poetic verses.

Presenting haiku capturing the bleakness of winter-

bare landscape extends

across the vast emptiness

alone, a lost soul

winter storm warning

the angry blizzard rages

huddled together

icy north wind blows

tunneling through snow mountains

hope in a candle

white frosted lashes

hug of a warm winter coat

steaming hot cocoa

Thank you Lora. I hope the weather gets better in your place.

You painted such a vivid and descriptive vision of winter with your haiku that I could feel it even though, where I am right now, we're having temps in the triple digits. Beautifully done.

Marlene Bertrand from USA on June 25, 2020:

I admire your talent and I truly enjoyed all of your poems. But, now I am as cold as ice and need a cup of cocoa. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

Nithya Venkat (author) from Dubai on June 23, 2020:

Thank you Peggy, oh yes I agree. The warmth of going inside is a welcome thought in the bitter cold.

"White frosted lashes," as well as rosy cheeks and frosty breaths, I remember those cold Wisconsin days by reading your evocative poetry. The warmth of going inside after playing or working outside was always welcome.
