Haiku Challenge (Jan. 14-17, 2016) ~ Haiku #12-15

I wrote the following haiku as part of the #haikuchallenge on Twitter from a while back. I only made it four days in, but I thought I'd put up what I wrote, anyway.

Ruthless Jack
(#haikuchallenge 1/14/16) (fumble)

Frosty's frozen hands
Fumble for and grip my throat
Tightly on this night

Violent Winds
(#haikuchallenge 1/15/16) (bent)

The howling torrents
The bent trees and darkened skies
And the Earth turns still

Bribe

(#haikuchallenge 1/16/16) (bribe)

Bitter, icy cold

Could I only bribe Summer

Bribe with my shivers

Faith

(#haikuchallenge 1/17/16) (faith)

The Sun dips below

But the Children need not fear

Have faith in a dawn
