Tired

Lacking energy,
Passion drops like the climate, 
A long slog ahead. 

Boreas

Cold seeps into bones,
I ponder the sweeping wind,
On his trip up north.

Persevere

Shimmering glass stars,
Frost shatters into fragments,
The illusion lifts.

Vibrance

A monochrome world,
White fields below black heavens,
But, orange hues dawn.

Cozy

There, in the darkness,
Bright warmth in a log cabin, 
Joy will rise again. 

Rain

Crystals on windows, 
Pitter patter, the drops laugh,
I will sit and read.

Elisha Ager, an avid follower of traditional Japanese poetry, studied the art of haiku during their travels. Having returned to the UK, they enjoy weaving the precise cadences of haiku with the nuances of the English language, infusing their personal experience with cultural insights. This is Elisha’s first feature with The Short of It.
