If this is intended as a haiku (as 'frostbitten' which must be a winter kigo ) , it lacks
the traditional haiku's two parts. While it's a solid description of woman/man interacting with nature
(which is the heart of haiku), there's no revelatory comparison, result, or aha! moment revealed
by a second part.

if you rearranged the lines it could be a haiku (IMHO) :

under porch light
clutching keys -         <- though a more descriptive verb like 'fumbling' would emphasize                      
frostbitten fingers           the revelation coming up in the 2nd part that it's cause is winter.
                                OR, you could even blame it on the keys, à la Issa, and use 'clumsy'. (Issa is a fav of mine.)
