Notes About The Poem

- Haiku X 240 - Far Below Zero -

the winter wears its white dress
                        ice sculptures in many forms -
                        allow yourself thaw

                        horse in the stable
                        the sled is winter ready -
                        what an arctic adventure 

                        magical experience
                        refreshing ice bath -
                        it tickles in my stomach

I can imagine it got far below zero where you live. How is it now, Sunshine? My sister in Iowa said at one point they got minus 25 degrees. Wow, when I lived back there, it never got lower than -15

Sunshine Smile, This is an elegant epic suite that never strays from its intended theme. Excellent image portrayal. I appreciate your comments on my recent haiku posts. They are truly valued Howard

Anne-Lise, the setting appears peaceful, and the Haiku set perfectly captures the fascination of the snowflakes. Good luck with the contest

Ahh!! Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. I haven't experienced this at all, and I hope at my age to not have to experience it. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
