A winter haiku

for the "Roots and Branches" challenge

By Salomé SaffiriPublished 10 months ago • 1 min read

The snowbound tree moves

The roots under the cold ground

Settling in for sleep

Every winter-

A recollection upon

A recollection

Every memory

An Engraved circle under

The thickening bark

What Does it dream of-

A hand that planted it or

A hand that cuts it?

Salomé Saffiri

Writing - is my purpose. I feel elated when my thoughts assume shapes, and turn into Timberwolves, running through the snowbound planes of fresh paper, leaving the black ink of their paw prints behind.
