Haiku - dah winners!
This was part of a contest at PSNH...
There were two winners declared.
I am pasting in, below, the two winners ... as well as the 'honorary mentions'
Some of the initials/addresses may be familiar to you! (NSM: I'll forward your prize to you! I.M.: I laugh out loud every time I read yours. Apparently it didn't win over the judges!)

leaves trees with splintered scars and
amputated limbs

Snow seemed sweet at first -
Stayed too long and stole our warmth
Like unfriendly guests

Out goes skilled warriors of hope
Up rises bright joy.

Cold snow soft, heavy
Branches crash wires drooping low --
Neighbors warm our hearts.

Rainfall I can take;
Ice falling, if I have to;
Wires? Not so much.

Autumn wore snowshoes
A scarf and long underwear:
Frozen pipes at dawn
