Haiku Friday: In the (bleak?) mid-winter

 

It's the heart of the season. Here in Minnesota, it gets below zero most days, and the snow on the ground has been there for weeks. For a surprising number of people, it is their favorite season, with bright clear days and (this week) a huge orange moon at night lighting up the snowscape.
 
How is your mid-winter going? Let's haiku about that this week. Here, I will go first:
 
There are no birds here
When the snow gets deep; They go
South for spring training.
 
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

Comments:
Legging, boot, gloves, cap
and down filled coat OK but
be home for dinner



 
Bleak, cold, frozen, like
Voting rights legislation,
We need a thaw soon.
 
A dusting of snow
An icey gray sky coats the
Horizon; my mood
 
At this time of year
It doesn't quite matter your
Temperature gauge
