Kim Rodrigues Poet Haibun

A Pathway To the Road

A PATHWAY TO THE ROAD

My neighbor made his own shovel and let me borrow it.  My driveway looks like the precipice from which the Grinch sleighed down into Whoville! Perhaps an exaggeration, but I haven’t shoveled this much snow ever. I heard we usually get an average of two inches a year. The ruler measured eight from this one storm. 

a homemade shovel
digs through snow and ice
picketing hard work

Maurice Rigoler December 11, 2017 at 9:48 PM Not sure what a haibun poem it, will have to look it up to better appreciate your poem. BTW, there is nothing to ponder about my poem about the "old man" hauling in his "catch of shadows." It's a metaphor for the evening sun going down./ M Kim Rodrigues December 11, 2017 at 10:18 PM Thank you! Very cool imagery!
