Poems of fire and snow
So many good haiku!
We had a no less than three from Virginians: CraigA, Des, and IPLawGuy. CraigA's first:
We Virginians do
Not know what to do with the
White stuff: Bless our hearts!

And Des:
And IPLawGuy:
Fire and cold weather
Nature will refresh and cleanse
Humans must adjust.

Christine weighed in from neighboring North Carolina:
Handy ice scrapper
Sits unused in the glove box
Waiting patiently
I am traveling
Snow expected in Durham
Cold in Florida.

And Jill Scoggins from neighboring Kentucky (formerly part of Virginia, in fact) had this gem:
City draped in white…
New tracks each morning reveal
critters come by night
These visitors leave
a roadmap of indents on
my yard, front and back
Where do they come from?
Where are they going? What do
they do as I sleep?
Under cover, I
stay warm, unaware of this
entire other world.

And a bunch of anonymous entries... here are three of my favorites. One:
She sat smartly in
High heels and Chanel, ladling
Ice into Chablis.

Two:
Behind cottage in
The snowy meadow sparrows
Vie for a seed feast.

And Three:
Body iced, she clung
To stone,and whispered from grave
He knelt with a rose.
