Buds- Haiku Anthology

winter

the leaves have vanished
a cold maw swallows the sky
the leaves come back soon

a ball made of snow
on a snowy patch of grass
then in tiny hands

"no school"! cheered the kids
excitedly, they run home
to play in the snow

now inside the house
a fire is warmly lit
then they go to sleep

christmas eve is here!
they patiently wait for him
to receive thier gifts
