Haiku for the autumnal equinox (or, Mabon haiku)

Blessing of balance,
summer to fall, day equals night —
reflect and give thanks.

As far as I can determine, this artwork is by Jennifer Emmett Weyland and is titled "Queen of Autumn".

Winter parenting, a haiku

Little sleep, tears, coughs,
children who can't say what's wrong...
Beauty, soothe my soul!

Winter Haiku II

Windshield wipers, black,
through the snow like insect legs —
wish they were crocus.
