Haiku Chain: Art of Winter

North Central Texas received a
Valentine's Day gift from our
Heavenly Creator: 3-5" of snow
fell across the area.

Unfortunately, it did not last
long; it melted by late evening.

But, o, what beauty! :-)

snow falling gently

          the ground, unmarred by footprints

                    tree limbs, sketched in white

the air, silent--calm

          sound absorbed, all is serene

                    late season snowfall

a picture postcard

          a valentine's day present

                    our Creator's kiss


(C) Copy written, 2004, by Karla Dorman.

Yes...when it comes down white and lovely, and disappears in
a few hours...then I would welcome it as you have.
Shoveling out a foot of it a day, for nearly all of a week,
then it is a different story...

I enjoyed your happy expressions, Karla!

Nothing like the kiss of a snowflake. Wonderful sharing and so pleased to hear you have had the joy of snow. ......Wouldn't mind if you take more from the north.....not at all.....we don't mind sharing :-) Beautiful Haikus!

Karla I'm so happy you got the snow, I know you were looking forward to it, but also it enabled you to write these utterly exquisite Haiku! They are really superb!

(((Karla)))

What a lovely present from Mother Nature! I enjoyed the snow, and I enjoyed this beautiful poem! Thanks for sharing a wonderful memory that will live on in the mind of many Texas folk who were lucky enough to experience something that doesn't occur often, quite unlike our home back in Ohio! Ah, what memories! I really had fun yesterday, and it was made better sharing the snowfall (and the snowballs) with you!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D

Beautiful Karla...and when it snowed, I went outside and made my first snowman. I couldn't believe how beautiful and soft the snow was. By noon my snowman was a puddle of water. But I'll be waiting for the next bit of snow....even if it takes another 16 years. LOL
