Merry Christmas

haiku

Desert blooms: Spring
North’s distant snow memory
Rain darts in then out


Snows blow and cold spreads
Turtle scans -- warmth, moves west
Winter rains: deserts green.


Skies of gray: warmth eludes
Tortoise stretches a deep hue
Showers drift in: no, out


Sun-sitting in Arizona
Work puzzle words or numbers
Turtle people doze


Sun emerges: the victor
Snows of winter now evaded
Rains soak the turtle


Sweater snuggler sniffles
Warmth ignored -- Desert plants
Sah-Wah-ro intrigue
