Frozen

This is just an example of traditional haiku that I wrote for my project. In japanese, this is called a haikai.

 

Frozen

Winter breeze bites sharp

Sleeping forest lies in wait

Frozen and dormant

 

Small, twitching noses

Poke from burrows, shrubs and trees

Only things awake

 

Blue and white statues

Waiting for warmth, not yet dead

Barren trees dozing

 

Awaken forest!

Flowers raise their heads, trees stir

Warmth rouses mammals

 

Birds sing, home again

Animals waking rejoice

Plants are quiet, still

 

Different sleeping

Different awake as well

Yet both are the same

Author's Note

I did this in about five minutes, and it is just an example, but I hope you like it. P.S. it's a haiku, so please ignore the grammar problems (I think haiku ignores grammar).

a pleasant haiku string Haiku traditionally uses no capitals. it is an attempt to capture a moment in time
