Winter Blues Haikus 3: Haiku of Love
I
Bright windburned cheeks
hide behind a scarf as red.
I know you're smiling.
II

Retaliation is swift:
a tackle and kiss.
III
Warm breath 'gainst my lips
could cure hypothermia
when the breath is yours.
IV
Gloves grasp together
rubbing in primal passion,
struggling for warmth.
V
The backyard angels
leave a glacial impression;
steal snowflake kisses.
VI
Your love's a blizzard
covering my heart in snow.
I'll put my boots on.
VII

heading away from my house
falling snow fills them
VIII
Sultry stinging wind
pecks my cheek indifferently-
We're getting divorced.
IX
Icicle heartbreak:
One by one they plummet down
because of lost love.
X
Three stacked snowy spheres:
dark coal eyes search the sky for
someone to melt with...
