snapping them out of the air

Hai-KOOL! National Poetry Month
Spring has been slow to arrive where I live, so instead of whining I decided to try writing a couple of haikus about the situation. I am calling them "hai-kools" for the weather they represent. Check out another playful form of haiku on Laura Purdie Salas' blog, where she is writing a riddle-ku a day for National Poetry Month.

Our neighbors' hyacinth was off to a good start before being hit by snow:
ReplyDeletePink blossoms tremble,
tumbling into April snow...
a gentle passing.
Wonderful, Deborah! Thanks for this beautiful "hai-kool"
DeleteSo much fun! I like taking the positive approach too, and Watson seems to love it!
ReplyDeleteHe does, indeed! We have a much more favorable forecast this week, which helps my optimism considerably. ;) Thanks for stopping by, Juliana.
DeleteI actually just found you on FB, Jane. These are wonderful. I have one I'm posting on Wed. from last week's storm. What a winter-now about 70 tomorrow! Can we do a hai-warm?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. As for hai-warm, I'm all for it!
DeleteI love these, Jane! "wrestling with snowflakes"--lovely! Funny that you and Joyce Sidman both have dogs named Watson:>)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura. Yes, I think Joyce's Watson is a lab, if I remember correctly.
