Frosty whip-cream trees
Silent unseen sentinels
Drivers rushing by
A benefit of early-morning commuting is enjoying the smooth, unbroken, and just-fallen snow.
There's just enough time at a traffic light to think through a haiku.

I need to clean my mind up and lift it out the gutter. I clicked on this thinking it was going to be some cute bit of filth. But, no, just Judey writing a beautiful haiku! Love the image and all that snow, goes perfectly with your wonderful words! Well done!
I’m about as jealous as one can be in seeing these pictures, and I loved the haiku, never thought of snow that way, what a great metaphor!
It's just so satisfying to see that snow! Loved your Haiku!
Virgin snow, frosted trees, a wonderland undisturbed. Blessings in a traffic stop.
I love those traffic light moments - little snippets of fullness.
So nostalgic, such beauty in deadly scenarios. Lovely words for a snow whipped cream day.
"Silent unseen sentinels" 💕 Love this haiku.
Nicely Done 👍🏾
I really like this, the soothing peace of the first two lines, then a jolt of impending disaster in the third. Really well done.
I kinda' miss being the first one out there in the morning. Great haiku and photos.
Lovely, Ms. Judey, just lovely and perfect
Ohhh this is lovely
Beautiful! The poem and the pictures!
