The Maid of Winter (haiku)


The Maid of Winter
Arrives with the winter wind
And swirling snowflakes 

~~~

A Winter’s Dance   A scent in the air Nature is changing her sheets The snow is coming   A whisper of wind Soughs through the boughs of dark trees As the sky darkens   A splash of siskins Seeks a haven from the storm Among the cedars   A few snowflakes fall Floating on the rising wind Heralding the storm   In time with the wind The snow falls more heavily As darkness deepens   In the wild maelstrom Of this windy snowy night The dance continues   Until such a time As the wind and falling snow Bow out to the moon   In the bright moonlight The landscape is magical White serenity   The storm is over An owl calls in the distance One answers nearby   The dawn will witness Nature’s wonderful artwork In this snow-clad land   © Regis Auffray

Christmas in 2020 (rhyming acrostic)   Christ is born in Bethlehem He comes in midst of mayhem Rejoice for he brings us peace Ignorance and hatred cease Sing his praises do not sway The Lord comes to show the way Make your enemy a friend All will be one in the end Shed your chains and walk away     Copyright © Regis Auffray December 2004 All Rights Reserved

I Thought of You   I watched a cloud float by in the sky I saw a bird flying A butterfly fluttered by A ladybug landed A deer came out of the woods And grazed in the meadow A breeze came by And the trees waved And some leaves wafted To the ground The brook giggled And freshened the air A feather fell from an eagle above Rainbow raindrops alit on me Born of cotton clouds that came and went Leaving a sky of sapphire   With each marvel I thought of you God made me see the loveliness Of all that you are   © Regis Auffray

Christmas Future    (rhyming acrostic) Christmas will be all year round Hope peace and joy will abound Religions will be as one Immortal Love will have won Sorrow will be put to flight The Light will shine in the night Mankind will as one unite And all of the universe Shall be freed from evil’s curse Copyright © Regis Auffray December 2004 All Rights Reserved
