I kept saying “we’re going to have a late winter.” And here it is. A few days from the start of Spring, after Daylight Savings Time, and so many plants and trees have already started to bud…a Nor’Easter! Hope you’re all safe and warm and enjoying your snow day.
COLD HAIKU
2017
snowed in
no birds visit
after the storm
Silver-blue sunset
ducks and geese huddle
at melted edge of pond
two bundled figures
bent at a 45 degree angle
into the windy cold air

I am waking up to snow too. I’m not snowed in, but yes the late winter is here. It’s pretty, but I am waiting for it to melt.

Ours is melting pretty quickly. The Nor’easter was less mighty than predicted.

I made sure I filled the feeders yesterday afternoon so the birds would have something to eat. Glad I did because they were out there this morning.

That’s my husband’s job and he’s been ill (upper respiratory stuff)…hence the photo. I’m sure the birds in your neighborhood love you!

Lovely Barbara. A series of poems that show me what I will come to know later today or tomorrow when this snow stops falling.

Brrr, your words and photo gave me a chill. 🙂 Glad to read that it’s not as bad and melting quickly. Right now, I have a snow shower but it is not sticking. Yay!

That’s what haiku is all about…creating an image in very few words. Thank you for helping me feel like I succeeded.

So my “cold haiku” worked! Weren’t you worried about those peach trees just the other day? Our seasons are very confused. This worries me. Right now, it is raining on Long Island and the snow is melting. Not quite the nor’easter that was predicted, but it did give everyone the day off!

I love the images you created with words! Yes ‘the seasons are confused’ everywhere. Ghana is so hot and it should be the beginning of the the rainy season which is slightly cooler!

Ugh! Another testimonial to how things are not going well in the natural world. What do you do in Ghana? Sorry it’s so hot there. Personally, I hate the heat!
