After the Ice Storm - hiku for Brian


ice-encased tree limbs
glisten in dawn’s stillness . . .
a lone fawn wanders

This is so well written dear andrea. You always do these short forms so well and hiku too i bet brian will enjoy, i especially love the opening and the last line, so unique and picturesque, i wonder what the weather is like where you are at? Do you get snow? best wishes for the contest dear andrea

Not as much snow as in the old days. In Kentucky once I experienced an ice storm which dazzled all the trees. This is kind of my memory of it. Thanks.

This creates a very strong image in my head and that tells me you did really well with this. I wonder if a screenwriter would ever make a movie storyboard entirely of haikus. You could do it for them....no doubt. Funny thought, but you would be able to do it. It's hard for me to comprehend how productive you are in terms of all this art, but I am very thankful you are!

Thanks even if I don't really know if I did really well with this. Thanks for your sweet compliment, Duke.
