We had snow flurries today, but no accumulation. I almost went out and took a picture of the last little patch of snow in my yard, but it was dirty and unattractive. Then I see from Kristjaan's post that that is more or less the point. Well, its dark now, and I lost my chance.

last snow
in the corner of my yard
no longer pristine

the old man
sits on the edge of his bed
remembers his sins
~ 3 ~
snowman melts
children run across the field
time to play baseball
~ 4 ~
last snow melts
flows into the icy pond
for moose and goose
~ 5 ~
end of winter
new spider floats on the breeze
with the last snow flakes

first two especially the second, great interpretation and depth.. the last three, really fun ^^
ReplyDeleteI love the 1st, we don;t have snow by I relate to the yard.
ReplyDeleteIs the old man smiling I wonder?
I can only speak for myself, I love the moose and the goose. Who says haiku can't be a little fun? The poetry police?? My favorites # 2 and # 4
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, always the new spiders coming on. Must have new weavers for new seasons!
ReplyDeleteAll excellent haiku ~ well penned for 'snow' ~ Of course I love moose and goose ! ^_^
ReplyDeleteIs it your yard or your snow that is no longer pristine? :)

Oh my! Your second haiku spoke to my heart! Nice interpretation of the prompt. So glad moose,goose and spider are still playing in your backyard! I've grown attached to them!
ReplyDeletealoha JzB - i like the way #2 and #3 are working. particularly #2 with "sins" as a reference to "remaining snow". aloha.
