Haiku On Ice
That sounds like a third-tier figure skating show, huh? But it actually was our haiku theme last week, and people nailed it!
This one was anonymous-- but I'm pretty sure it was from my mom (and it is about my dad):
A starry cold night
He stands with a misting hose
Making an ice rink
Next day it’s ready
Kids with hockey sticks appear
And the game begins.
My dad, in turn, had his own entry (which was a little depressing):
The ice reached downwards
to the small boy begging him
to break a piece off
Tomorrow he would
go out and find a puddle
where his kind friend was.
And the Medievalist has had enough ice in Waco this week:
Normally I like
Ice in coffee, to skate on,
Not in living room.
Desiree had a good reflection on a familiar sight:
To prevent falling,
walk with feet flat on ice-- the
Hockey Coach Shuffle.
And this came from IPLawGuy:
The word Ice rhymes with
rice, spice, nice, splice, dice, lice, mice
But I got Nothing.
Christine, in North Carolina, had this:
A glaze upon bark
Pink blooms encapsulated
Ice sarcophagus.
And this one was anonymous, but I'm pretty sure it was from one Robert Van Winkle:
Ice Ice baby dum
Yo VIP let’s kick it alright
Stop, collaborate, and listen.
