In the cloakroom birds
shake off snowflakes from their necks
and tip Spring’s lame clerk

Lol got confused on the who “her” was referring to at first and would love for you to explain

Haiku poems have a stringent form to follow, so I understand your confusion!
I’ve personified “Winter” as a female who’s shaking off her cloak.
Thank you so much for reading my work so carefully, Tracey. I’m happy answering your questions. xo

I hate getting frost on my cloak!
The robins are early this year. There’s no snow on the ground, so I suppose that means they can massacre worms. Lucky them.

I had no idea you wore a cloak π Is it like the one the Headless Horseman wears?
Your robin photos are very lovely. I’m sure they’ll share worms and bugs with you if you’re nice to them! π π
