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

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

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
