Jackie Hardy edited Haiku: Poetry Ancient and Modern, a collection of 500 poems from Japan, the United States, England, and Canada. A good haiku crams a great deal of experience into a few phrases and its reverberations swell out in all directions. Here are two examples from the book that deal with winter:

the cold night
comes out of the stones
all morning.
— Jim Kacian

chill night
first knocks
from the radiator.
— Maurice Tasnier

Try your hand at a haiku about icicles, wind, skaters, or some other aspect of the winter wonderland around you.
