Haiku for You

[pieces o nine]

Old habits die hard.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   

The trees are budding,
outside my window - flowers

[Swatopluk]

soon to die by frost

-----

A cynic I am
A spoiler of all nice thought

[Opsa]

But otherwise fine.





I'm an optimist
Otherwise I'd get depressed

[Swatopluk]

I'll laugh when I die

-------

Soon snow will be past
And not return for a year

[roystonoboogie]

or maybe a month?



Dogs lie on the floor
Snoring in unison now

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

rhythmic comfort sounds


************************

what's food for the soul?
is it something tangible?

[pieces o nine]

or just Chicken Soup™?



Snowing hard since noon;
Hoping hard for a snow day...

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

rain expected here

0000000000000000000000000000000000

just now, winter's wrath
first spring was in Feb again

[roystonoboogie]

Second spring in June?



Easter been and gone,
Blossoms smear wet car windscreens,

[pieces o nine]

Can't see through the snow.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Another snow day!
Where the heck has our Spring gone?

[Opsa]

Not here. It's summer.

Leaves like peridots
bejewel the Spring branches

[pieces o nine]

Somewhere under ice.

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Shoveled off the walk.
Well, at least a path for mail.

[Opsa]

Is there no justice?

               

The skies grow darker
What will come from the clouds now?

[pieces o nine]

Rain -- if you live here.

Snowdrifts on sidewalks
beaten down by feet: soon rain

[Opsa]

Slip sliding away!

Yesterday the bud
was clenched like a tiny fist
