Pale now, they'll  ripen
To scarlet winter glory,
Brightening dull days.

    And we'll need the brighter berries more that time of year, too.

    Yes, they will! The promise of bright splashes of red against the gray days of winter makes me happy. Really great haiku subject matter, done well.

    holly fruit,
    though now pale and mute,
    will blush red

    I missed Friday Haiku this past week as I was out of town and away from the computer. Glad I caught your entry. I like it. Holly, in a state of growing. I guess I've seen it this way before, (I never looked for it).
    Your description is right spot on too!

    Peace.
