old snow slightly off white the state of my soul

I just adore winter haiku, and one line haiku captures both a cold winter and how we can be in a different state of soul or mind even during something that's supposed to be an amazing festival such as Christmas.

snowing through the blizzard particles of me

Originally penned as a one line haiku, I changed it to three lines for a competition where I knew it wouldn’t fit into the calendar space.

Perfect! I went looking for this poem a few weeks ago but the muse gave it to you instead! Another way of saying, I wish I had written this! Thanks for the smile.
