Terri Glass Haiku Corner Flower
Haiku Corner

Winter Haiku

     Winter Yosemite
          the falls roar loudly
                then float down as snow.

December in the park
river so high, air so chill—
my inner thighs freeze.

          Could barely see them
          standing in the cornfield
          a hundred Sandhill cranes.

~Terri Glass
