snapshots of a trip home...

haiku

long silence
unbroken
still

Popcorn Geese
(hamilton, ontario)
the flock wheels into the wind,
cups wings and settles
onto the mall parking lot

haiku too

fresh snow
on filthy snow
buffalo

we had to travel thursday from oshawa to niagara falls to visit my mother in hospital. these are just snapshots of a weary winter journey...
---haiku just a word play
----popcorn geese -- a pejorative term used by the cree of james bay for non migrating geese -- refers to their diet

---haiku too --an observation not devoid of n\f partisanship

Not sure if these are Haiku's, but I find them very enjoyable.

I'm in Toronto, Canada; and for the last two days we've had more than 15 cm of snow. It has turned out beautiful, for it was just snowing and not a storm. I enjoyed the scenic white afterward. Took some photos. too.

Hope your grandmother is feeling better now.

Nice thought-provoking writes!
