Color of winter
White has many shades.
Shadow blue, sunlit gold, grey
of approaching storm.
Bonnie’s haikus

First snowfall blankets

leaves as late as November.
Frost was wrong. Gold stays.
Thanksgiving bird = bird giving thanks
Fourteen wild turkeys
on my back deck raid the grape
vines looking for fruit.
