Here in the north country, it has been below zero-- as cold as -18-- for a while now. It's a good thing, really; this part of the world needs a good deep cold to keep invasive species at bay, among other things.
It's pretty cold where you are, too, most likely. So let's haiku about that this week. Here, I will go first:
Went out with wet hair
In an instant, It stiffens
Crunchy to the touch.
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable formula, and have some fun!

Landed in Tampa
ReplyDeleteLate yesterday evening
Needed my mittens
Brrrrr, house was sixty⁰
Heat ran nonstop through the night
Sleeping beneath down
Night temps in the teens:
ReplyDeleteWarm gas fireplace with good book,
and a touch of Makers!
Pretty the first day
ReplyDeleteStill pretty the second. Come
the third, slushy mess.
Like a scimitar
ReplyDeleteIce sliced through me, troika leapt
Minnesota sled.
From the bath of warmth
ReplyDeleteI emerge frozen
Resolve: Bathe no more!
You kiss me in car
ReplyDeleteMy lips freeze solid. Careless,
I beg another.
Moved from Seattle
ReplyDeleteTo- minus 30 degrees
All garments owned: ON!
Matchless beauty a
ReplyDeleteFrozen rose—frozen derriere
Not so much. Really.
Juncos flutter o’er
ReplyDeleteThe feeder in fierce cold
What more can I give?
Coyote Lopes o’er
ReplyDeletefield,we peer bus windows
Coyote lopes o’er
ReplyDeleteField, child peers out bus windows—
Can he defy such cold?
She's as cold as Ice
ReplyDeleteI never did like that song
Cold weather, I like!
An orange sun pours
ReplyDeleteIn clear glass my spirit glows
Till I open door.
