Re-Counting

This is a tale
Of one of those times
When, on a dare,
Or perhaps on a whim
I took a chance
And put a haiku out there:

        frozen forecast repeats "snow"	
        brace for five inches
        winter storms

The very next post
Was a haiku on counting,
You know, the old 5-7-5;
I knew this was written for me.
But rather than pouting
Or denying the shame
I haikued myself
And gave winter the blame:

        snow can blind my mind
        causing confusion to freeze 
        my haiku counting

The moral of this little tale?
To every good effort
There is a critic;
To every good critic
There is a cause;
To every good poet
There is a rhythm;
You just have to know
When to pause.
(or count...)
