Seasons of the Sun by Betsy Ashton

With the darker days of late winter settling in, with snow/sleet/icy rain falling, and with a kitty who is bored out of her freakin' mind but won't go out and get her paws wet, I offer four haiku to brighten your hearts.

SEASONALLY AFFECTIVE ORDER 

Whites, browns, yellows, blacks

Screeching, shoving—

Gang warfare @ the bird feeder.

Gently rocking waves

Lull one to sleep—

The nose peels.

Apple, cherry, pumpkin

Pies in the oven—

Time for the gym.

Ice-shrouded world

One slippery step—

Technicolor moon.

And on that last note, watch your steps, ya' hear?
