Flying with magic
Ease the pain winter brings me
Herbally soothing
Complete Tangent: In college, I studied ancient Japanese literature and I thought it would be fun to mention some things about haiku you might not know. There is also the long form poem that haiku plays into, called Renge (pronounced rain-gay), which is a stream of consciousness poem written with a syllable count of 5-7-5 for one stanza and 7-7 for the next stanza. From there they alternate stanza length, one stanza relating to the previous stanza, but not the one before the previous stanza (if dogs were the theme of the first stanza, the second could mention puppies in the grass, but the third would do better to talk about grass and say turtles, so no relation to the dog of the first stanza). These Renge would be written at parties by all attendees while they drank and got their flower-or-moon-viewing on. Haiku also traditionally has at least one mention of season and nature (even if spring, winter fall, summer are not specifically noted, snow, monsoon, cicadas or some other season specific event or thing might come up).
