    I know a traditional haiku doesn't usually take this tone. But for the feeling I wanted to convey its hypnotic rhythm just felt best, even if I am not talking about nature.

    Charish gloomy days
    Cold wet sad windy and grey
    They fortify you

    With wet shoes and coat
    Ice forming in ones damp hair
    feel joy but not hope

    know your soul is real
    vivid as blood on fresh snow
    it will greet you there

    I like this, yours?-- 'feel joy but not hope'.. last few lines are the best.

    Thanks. As far as I know, that line is all mine, classic Paul, but it could have been somewhere else once.

    I'm going to put this one here instead of making more threads since it's a haiku too

    -------------
    Today yesterday
    and always I wait for you
    Under the willow

    Among fireflies
    on a warm June night so sweet
    we made a promise

    I wait though I know
    somewhere a stone bares your name
    yet I find you here
