Three Free-Wheeling Haiku
1.
In distress my heart
seems to turn into liquid—
bitter winter draught.
2.
Desperate for wings,
I’ll pay whatever they cost—
my new year’s desire.
3.
Cold-weather longing:
to see Paris glittering
while a freight train moans.

I so relate. I love your new year’s desire and hope your liquid heart doesn’t experience a winter freeze.
I don’t like winter either! (But not experiencing it right now.) And I can share the longing for wings, and to see Paris.
oh yes if we only had wings. I do fly to Holland soon though to see my family Don’t like winter either, but we are having summer. Not a warm one 😦
Nice trio, MMT

turn into liquid
I’ll pay whatever they cost

BTW, be sure to see the Eifel Tower lit up at night, it glitters.

This is great, Jim! Thanks for this creative response!
Thanks 🙂
If I had wings, Paris would be one of many stops.
The greatest human stumbling block is that little word “if.”
while today finds me snowed in- your haiku transport me to extraordinary places!!
