Winter Chores

Change to winter tires.
Shovel the snow and spread salt.
Stoke up the fire.




Inspired by: Linda-Marie's Haiku"Weekend Blues"
              
 I remember it too well.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix Date: 12/20/2009 6:52:00 PM Nice Haiku! Typical scene of winter. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your comments on my poem. Not to worry, I am no longer introverted, it isn't my original nature. I am quite outgoing and youthful. I discovered my talent for poetry just 4 years and I am no spring chicken. :) Thanks again and God bless, Caroline. Login to Reply

Sara Kendrick Date: 12/19/2009 1:13:00 PM Would not want to be in the snow and cold for a whole winter. We only have snow or ice every ten years or so and we here in the south are crippled from it because we are not prepared to handle it. Love the way that you have put the idea together in the Haiku. Keep the magical and creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/19/2009 8:17:00 AM Guess there are some things I don't miss about life in Florida, Robert. Never did have snow tires, though, even when I lived in Jersey. But shoveling the snow seemed like marring nature's beautiful white blanket and I just hated doing it. "Stoke up the fire" and stay warm this holiday season, Robert. As always, enjoyed reading your work! Much love, Carolyn Login to Reply
