Haiku Friday: The Heart of Winter

 


Winter is coming hard all over the country. It is well below zero here, which should keep the ICE out, ironically. But winter here is a good thing, especially this deepest part-- it keeps the invasive species away, so that the ecosystem doesn't have a destructive jolt. It's purifying.

So let's haiku about any of it this week-- here, I will go first:

Don't walk outside now
If your hair is wet (or at all)
That sting is a smack.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!


Comments:
I see what you did
Yes, those thugs are invasive!
And fragile snowflakes
 
Forgot to sign in
Yes, that’s me, IPlawGuy
Not anonymous
 
Did it work this time?
It should be easier to
Sign in on a phone
 
Ice is for skating
Cooling a good drink, ice packs
Not for spreading fear
 
Bracing for big storm:
Shovels, brooms, window scrapers,
Lanterns, and blankets.

 
Calm before the storm
Hoping we don't lose power
Inevitable
 
The branches are bare
But the forest holds itself
Tall, for each tree stands
 
For now, we have ice.
Long may it linger. I dread.
A summer of ICE
