hainka #7
winter on the wane
fading into memory
warmer days ahead
twinkle in blue eyes
wild mustache above wide smile
scent at nape of neck
silken hair ‘tween my fingers
fading into memory

haiku #70
gold tints evening sky
mean season drawing to end
winter takes last bow
©2025 2026 Kate Wolfe
All images are my own watercolors.
thistles sway in breeze
seeds launch into winter sky
seeking fertile ground

Both painting and poem are my own, from winter 2024-2025.
daffodils thrust up
through cold January dirt
planted years ago
over beloved pet's grave—
reminder that life goes on

cold December morn
cardinal perches on bare branch—
looks back on autumn

Featured image is my own drawing using colored pencils.
through winter's white hush
half-frozen creek meanders
basking in sunrise

Featured image is my own watercolor landscape. I painted it about a year ago, and it was my husband’s all-time favorite.
sun rises golden
pink, blue, and, periwinkle
lone pine tree looks down
on lesser neighbors’ cast-offs—
high-and-mighty green
