Inspired by: Tomas Tranströmer's "and the frigid - November 11, 2014



Oak trees and the moon.
Light and mute constellations.
And the frigid sea

northern winds blow
fog and ice form chocking life
a lone duck

sea of clouds
over the western mountains
early snow

November moon
olive trees and persimmons
- and the icy lake

Linked to Carpe Diem Haiku Special - This month's poet is Tomas Tranströmer Nobel Prize for Literature in  2011.

  2. These are magnificent -- very wintery indeed -- but I really like the last one -- such a solemn feel ---

    1. The last one was the one I felt was closest to the poet's style .... and the photo reflected that cold frigid feeling.
