These drooping roses,
covered in needles of frost,
lament your goodbye.
Form: Haiku.

Region: USA

Season: Winter

Category: Humanity

Kigo: Needles of Frost

Description: Every now and again, I'll catch glimpses of flowers covered in snow/frost on my walks, and I'll catch my breath. They always seem so sad, so mournful, and it makes me think of frozen hearts and sudden farewells. Winter, in my opinion, is a sort of farewell of its own, especially frosts. So cold.
