A set of haiku to celebrate summer
Gray skies look heavy
Flakes of white begin to swirl
Light as frosty air
Garden blooming with
vibrant colors full of life
now encased in ice
Carrot nose, coal eyes
Snowman’s smile never fearing
warmth of coming sun
Branches are bare, yet
tree is very much alive
awaiting spring sun
Imagination
fills empty rooms with friends on
snow day home from school
Cold engine sputters
Snow laden trees guarding roads
Cocoa at grandma’s!

Howdy Dana (DanaTeresa) -
Good show ! I truly enjoyed them all, but the favorite for me was that snowman who didn't give much of a fig for the coming son. My kind of snowman for certain.

GUS!!! - Ah yes. The plight of the poor snowmen. Built up only to be stranded in place until the sun melts them away. Might as well accept your fate and enjoy the time you've got, right??
so great to hear from you. it is always such a treat! :)
Dana, I'm glad I happened across this while browsing Facebook. Many people in NE Ohio cry and complain about the winter and snow but I actually enjoy it :) I love watching the flakes fall and making snowmen and drinking hot chocolate at Grandma's. You hit on all my favorite things about winter.
Cathces the full spirit of these days. Well done DT!
Very nice haiku. Thank you
Dana,
Your haiku collection reminds of the years I spent living on the east coast of the United States. I especially like your snowman haiku. I was hoping it would stay cold, so he would survive for a longer period of time.
I love this form and your pieces remind me so much of the things that O love about winter!
Cocoa at grandma’s! What a lovely image. Thank you
Lovely haiku and perfect images - and yes - I loved the cocoa at grandma's. Thank you, enjoyed this.
mmm Dana.. now i want some hot chocolate or run out to Starbucks.. lol .. thank you. I so enjoyed your haikus
be blessed my friend
Debbie

Thank you haiku for the post. I'll be back later for some great stuff...
Dana, I come from the tropics..but the pictures of the temperate zone from your Haiku is so enticing! Just like the cup of cocoa at Grandma's! Your personal experiences are so well knit into these haiku poems- and the pictures glint from among the snow. "Carrot nose, coal eyes/
Snowman’s smile never fearing/warmth of coming sun"..I see a little girls at play and little beads of moisture on the glistening bald pate of the snowman, where the sun hits. :)
Up and up and up...
wonderfuk haikus Dana, you capture scenery very well
I love your reflection of the branches being bare but very much alive. So true of how what we view may appear one way, but has yet a deeper meaning. Well done!

Howdy Dana (DanaTeresa) -
All are very fine "hachoos," but I like the one about the fearless snowman best of them all, like "who's afraid of the big, bad sun?"
Gus :-)))

A super long winter is right! Whenever I get discouraged with winter weather I try to look around and find something good about it, or pull up a good memory. There are so many wonderful things about each season....
WISHING YOU SPUNG WEARTHER SOON! (and me too!)
