Cold December sun <br>golden light on bare branches <br>does not warm my soul.

Nor mine Ben. I little sip out of the old fruit jar could change my perspective though.

I like the direct juxtaposition between "Cold" and "Golden" - they share a sound but diverge in meaning. The image is also well portrayed, and you earn your right to use a somewhat cliched "warming of the soul" line by adding the preceding sensory details. <br /> <br />Nice little haiku.

Thanks for the comments. <br />Tofu I suppose I could have put does not warm my heart but that would have been much the same. I had to keep the syllables down.
