Three thematically linked haikai revolving around wind.
Three winds


1.                Snow geese
White petals gusting;
wild cry
through a wind-grey dawn.


2,                Thunder over Mount Mansfield1
The wind's bright shadow
illumines
a now perspective
-less landscape.


3.                Dormarth2
White dog running through
snowy wind;
red ears cup the dusk.

Footnotes
1  Mount Mansfield is the iconic Vermont mountain near Burlington VT
2  Dormarth is the name of one of the legendary dogs of the Welsh Otherworld of faerie, whose physical characteristics match those described in this haiku
