EXACERBATED WINTER, haikus 1-5, by B.H. Wernick
Ten below, winds whip Blowing snow from winter mounds Frozen, not silent
Gentle flakes kill spring Even optimists are tired Damned Polar Vortex
Escape from winter Margaritas and heat lamps Sunny beach dreaming
Hummingbirds don’t know the chickadees’ sorrow, here Extreme cold nests death
HAIKU 5- EXACERBATED WINTER ( AND THAW RELIEF) by B.H. Wernick
