Snow Day

With great appreciation for the gift from nature that we so briefly call snow. If I could give it a name to capture the wonder and danger it is, and the wonder it makes room for, I think the new name would have to be long and lithe and brilliantly lettered.

Snow on My Street

Ever Enough?

Will the day come on
no longer I wish to see
wond’rous beauty snow?

Snow day

Keepsake

Lovely photographs
capture unexpected gifts
created in snow.

While it Lasts

Who’s to say when I’ll
get another chance to be
out in my dream live?

    Wonderful haiku complimented by beautiful images, or vice verse, either way, excellent.

    Thanks. I’m glad you like it. I don’t write a lot of Haiku but I do like the form. So I try my hand when inspiration comes.
