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!

    I see what you did
    Yes, those thugs are invasive!
    And fragile snowflakes

    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.

  5. 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

  7. For now, we have ice.
    Long may it linger. I dread.
    A summer of ICE
