#dailyhaikuprompt - snow drift
In absence of snow
I walk past the ghosts of drifts
Shield myself from rain
In absence of snow
I walk past the ghosts of drifts
Shield myself from rain

Of fact, it's all dark

#dailyhaikuprompt - breath
Twenty four million
Since her first breath that morning
Twelve months, countless smiles
A sequel to just under a year ago, the same prompt, when my granddaughter was born. The breath count may be an underestimate, but not the smiles.

The soil, warm, beneath
Winter coat of leaf decay
Nurtures slow rebirth

Spirits fill the home
