Haiku is the curse of a poet’s writing verse in Winter solstice:
a sad mendicant’s acrid medicine, begging bowl of Winter’s bliss,
a seasonal owl starved of mice-thoughts and winged prey falls from Summer’s grace,
skeletal remains of once fat contemplation chancing Winter’s ire,
scant leavings of the feasting in plenitude, bare bones of Winter’s cheer. © I.D. Carswell 2007
