Michael J. Falotico Poet Haiku

Till the Next Snowfall

"String Haiku" contest


                                         
                                                snow covered branches
                                          slowly melt down the tree limbs
                                                as sunlight shines bright

                                                the warmth of the day
                                            cold is now changed to water
                                                  solid now flows free
                                              
                                                    glistening puddles
                                                 lay quiet till drops fall
                                              small birds taste and bathe

                                           
                                                   happy sparrows land
                                              enjoying a glimpse of spring
                                                  till next snowfall comes

Andrea Dietrich January 30, 2011 at 10:12 PM YOur series tells a wonderful story, Michael! I especially like the third one with the small birds tasting those drops!

Carolyn Devonshire January 30, 2011 at 1:03 PM The sights you describe so vividly are always welcomed by those who live in the North, Michael. I remember this well from my childhood in New Jersey. Sometimes the snow would start to melt from the trees and there would be an overnight freeze. In the morning it looked like a crystalized wonderland. I think this is a great haiku series and wish you well in the contest. Having read Charles' latest blog, I'm not sure exactly what he's seeking. Love, Carolyn

James Rasmusson January 30, 2011 at 10:18 AM Michael, so glad you enjoyed my poem. I have honestly wondered for years if I'm a brilliant moron or a retarded genius. I like your haiku sequence above. Sequencing a haiku is something I enjoy doing. ~Jim MeanderthalMan

Kabuteng P.Ink K. January 30, 2011 at 10:02 AM and as for your haiku string here -- I definitely enjoyed this one-- I think it is soo cool how you played on the cycle here-- bringing the seasons together-- very cleverly done! hard to choose a favorite but hmm ok I think I like the one with the puddles in them and the snow covered one too! I hope this does well in the contest :D haha ok I am on a roll-- this string and CL thing-totally your fault! - Clever Loony

Poet Destroyer A January 30, 2011 at 8:44 AM Good morning, Michael nice and warm out here. I hope this image is keeping the coldness away from New York... does that mean the snow is almost gone...
