a few desultory flakes
fall intermittent-
ly

This poem is great!
um… i honestly don’t think you can pull off a good haiku with desultory”” and “”intermittent-/ly””… but that’s just me.”
first snow-
painting sound to footprints-
twilight waiting-
mist
the blind feels his way
down the road
new snow
paw prints trace
was to is
Winter
an ouzel under a shrub
pecking its hunger…
answering nature’s call-
flying sideways
30,000 feet off the ground
