Snowy Sunday Haiku

My friend Denise has inspired me over the past year to revive my love of Haiku. For those of you unfamiliar with this style of verse, it is a Japanese form of poetry characterized this way: It has three lines. The first has 5 syllables, the second has 7 syllables and the third has five syllables. Traditionally Haiku was written about nature. I have followed that path today. This snowy Sunday, clouds hang low hiding the peak. Peaceful, quiet day.
