Tanka #27 — Winter Solstice

Sun Through Winter Trees

Sun cuts low through trees
Squirrels burrow under roots
People chase daylight
Winter solstice then Christmas
Hibernation ~ if only ~

December heatwave

Winter solstice soon.
Weather fakes balmy June day:
Whoops! trees have gone bald.

Earthworms burrow deep
Ground hard-frozen at midday
Seeds for hungry birds

Nutmeg (leycesteria formosa)

Puce blooms adorn shrub
Ground spice sprinkled on custard
The nutmeg’s journey

Crab apple

Leaves fallen, fruit gone;
just one golden crab apple
steals the limelight.
