72 hours until May 01, 2022. 72 hours and what do I see?! Snow!? Blinding snow! Wet snow. Freezing to the touch -snow!? I say blah’ to the last of 2022, late winter’s snow. And with this late winter’ snow, here are a few last minute Winter Haiku.
winter moon
the slow close
of a scrapped poem
falling snow ―
desert horses
charge down the riverbank
7 am
late winter’s snow
on the rooftops
unexpected snow…
scrapped poems
rearrange themselves
On April 20, 2022, of this year, obviously, I took a New Year’s walk with my little love, Lola. She is nearly 14 years old this October 2022. Anyway, before our daily walks, since there is no rain, I was allowed by Mother Nature to make the following observations of my Lola and other natural things, during and after our daily walks. I hope you, reader(s) enjoy the happiness and surprises that we encountered on that day. If I had my camera in hand, I would have taken a quick photo, but of course, the snake in its travels, moved swifter than I could. 😉
before our walk…
teacup chihuahua
the sunshine is ahead
of the sunrise
teacup chihuahua
her shiny coat
ahead of the sunshine
sunshine—
teacup chihuahua
a sunny spot moves
around the apartment
during our walk…
sunrise
a gardener snake
rises itself from the grass
sunrise—
as the gold snake rises
from the grass
the gardener snake rises
suddenly, swiftly
april sunrise
after our walk…
sunshine
my chihuahua rests
on the sofa
sunshine—
sleepy chihuahua
stays in bed sulking
for a short while
sleeping chihuahua…
where a soft light shines
peeking
from the blankets

Topic of Haiku – Writing Poems
writing, writing, writing
it’s like watching
soaring kites
manuscripts—
making snowballs
then letting them fly
paper balloons
I know they wont keep
scrapped poems
spring snowflakes—
if I could catch them
tossed poems
snowflakes
with spring warmth—
tossed poems
cloudless sky
when scrapped poems fall
from my hand
spring clouds
scrapped poems
start to crumble
snowballs—
tossed poems
being piled up

Topic of Haiku – April Fool’s Day
fresh snow
after I see off
April Fool’s Day
19 days later
snow on the earth
April Fool’s Day
April Fool’s Day
snow accumulating
19 days later
grass buds shooting up—
colder than snow
April Fool’s Day
there are roses
where snow falls
April Fool’s Day
blooming tulips
the sighting of raging flames—
April Fool’s Day
snow falls
it falls rather than
raindrops
April Fool’s Day
April blizzard—
days without
reading or writing Haiku
night snow
on the ground
April Fool’s Day
April snow—
the colors of spring
change suddenly
April 12, 2022…
Topic of Haiku – Lies
lies and truths
in depth of one day
snow accumulations (1a)
lies and truth
in the depth of one day
accumulated snow (1b)
colorful lies
as many as the number
of spring flowers
autumn deepens
so too
number of the lies
depth of snow
old lies come
in the number of flakes (4a)
depth of snow
all lies come
in the number of flakes (4b)
avalanche —
old lies
suddenly pile ups
deepening winter
their number increases…
old lies (6a)
deepening winter
their number increases…
all lies (6b)
avalanche as many lies as many old lies as new lies
*100 days, possible 105 days until my 42nd birthday. I am trying to see how many new Haiku I can accumulate before the big day. 😉
