Over at (In)Courage, Robin has issued a challenge to express our God-given creative drive this year. The first assignment is simple - write a haiku. The theme is winter; I'll follow that theme and also write some about my family.
Here goes:
Winter
A flash of scarlet
Among the bare, cold branches
Splendor with feathers
Wendy
Cold toes, tangled hair
She climbs and snuggles deep, close
Morning moments glow
David
Pudgy hands capture
A truck, a blanket, a book
And my complete heart
James
Strength, integrity
A man seeking after God
Makes his children smile
