Bleakness of Winter

Reds and gold are gone

Jack Frost running through the trees

Bringing with him snow

    It's rare to come upon a 5-7-5 haiku in English with a nature theme and nature words in them these days. This one brings to me the transition from autumnal colours into the quilting of white... Jack Frost makes a lively image in my mind. That seems to contrast with the title itself, not that haiku really needs any titling. I suppose with this title and another line it could be written out like a senryu. Forgive the talkativeness of this comment. I guess the bleakness can be connected to the brilliant colours of autumn in contrast with the blandness of winter's white.
