The cold air awakened her. It was minus 22C and she just could not seem to warm her room this morning. She shuffled to the living room in her fleece robe de chamre. The sun rising slowly, catches her attention.

dawn of day
winter sky
seems less cold
dawn of day
ball of fire
slow rise
winter sky
melts with burning glow
that golden star
seems less cold
sky’s ablaze
warming hearts

Ah belle Cannadienne – superb fiery imagery to go with your haibun – mais, ce n’est pas qu’un haibun! Vraiment, c’est un nouveaux genre!

C’est vrai, je ne pouvais plus arrêter après un haiku, donc c’est une reflexion du matin. Bonne et heureuse année, Hamish 🙂

Not too bad today, I took the day off and hoping to work 6 hr shifts the rest of the week. Still have a raspy voice which is fine for a smoky bar but not at work 🙂

beautiful! I love how the sun image changes from dawn to a fiery ball and finally to a warm heart. 🙂

Thank you! I don’t get to see sunrises too often…actually I often get to bed at sunup in the summers but at least that is early compared to winter when it is as late as 7:30
