Pine boughs bent with snow
Hide birds from numbing death
Withering winds hunt

Winter’s shortened days
Farenheit falls, wind gallops
Whistling ‘cross the plain

Lost in blind blizzard
A traveler lays down
Now warm and sleepy

Horizontal winds bring
Lullabies from heaven

Frank J. Tassone is the host of Haiki Challenge.  Frank says:
This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that states or alludes to withering wind (kogarashi).
