3 winter haiku

I mistook a cold
fanbelt, chirping down main street
for a canyon wren

hoarfrost, each morning
twenty-four below zero
encrusts my doorknob

this is when they crack
last year's water balloon lips
and fall off the tap

their faceless words
stare silently
on the dim flickering screen

-wait, I misspelled abominable. how about...

the tall, fowl musk scent
of hairtufts snagged in pinebark
brings on pee-shivers
