Snow Haiku by Joshua St. Claire

Snow Haiku

seven crows 

against an altostratus sky 

blue snow 


nightsnow 

I fall 

into deep time 


all morning to travel 

from the stream to the spruce 

snowshimmer


snow arriving at the disappearing mountain 


still 

blue 

the Appalachians in snow 


cyan hills 

the snowwind marks 

our distance  


…a dream of falling snow moon


blank sun 

a black vulture teeters 

over snowworld 


the snowshadow 

of a double-crowned spruce 

limpid sky 


second snow 

three white birds cutting 

across the white pines 


the weight 

of the blue hour’s descent 

snowlight
