BYU Haiku

Okay, these aren't necessarily brilliant examples of haiku (I have never been an expert at rhyme), but they make me smile. Assignment was to sit at a spot on the BYU campus and write as many as we could think of. As you can tell, it was a little cold out. Kudos to you if you can figure out what time of year it was and where I was sitting based on the subject material.

Soft icicles form

Chill seizes fresh warm blood

Congealing the cells

A rusted chain creaks

Cold hail rains on the ground

Slowing everything

The mountain stands proud

Coarse gold patches struggling

To hide its baldness

Dew clings to moonlight

Damp creeps down the grass blades

Vanquished by the sun

Shoulders hunch over

Shielding vital organs

From arctic assault

Moth in a brick crack

Soft, powdered wings huddle
