3 Haiku by Roméo Desmarais III

Archaic Arctic
low-noon sun hovers
on the tundra’s horizon.
a lone, white wolf howls


hoarfrost
every branch, every
leaf, every thing, covered. school-
kids keep on playing


March:   “In” Like… / “Out” Like…
…A Lamb… / …A Lion…
(or, The Other Way Around).
Old wives hang clean sheets
