I meant to post some winter haiku months ago, but then DT happened…and I got my late-blooming political activist thing going.
So!
Before it’s too late, and the snow drifts melt, here’s some winter haiku for you in the more severe climes. And for those of you in the milder climes, be glad.

Skiing on white caps
White out blinds the shushing eye
Casted leg propped up.
Snow shovels scraping
Driveways and sidewalks cleaned up
Kids break out snow day.
Time for a long nap
Hibernating furry bears
Roly-poly cubs.
For those of you inclined to purchase a book of poetry, my book is available! I have loads of haiku and other personal free-verse poems in this collection, written over decades of life. I hope you enjoy. https://www.amazon.com/No-Boundaries-Karen-R-Sanderson/dp/0998127604

Always love your haiku, Karen! No snow here, but it was -3 last night, so winter lingers still. I think I’ve had enough for now – a warm, verdant blush would be most welcome.
I heard the NE was feeling some ND wind chills! Hope you are snuggling and blanketing.
The winds finally died down today – and tomorrow we’re due rain and 50s. At this point I’ll take any bit pf spring that comes this way. 🙂
Your winter haikus are pretty happy ones, Karen! You have survived a winter of what I call ‘high-top’ snow – very high and you can barely reach the top!
I’m getiting used to it – that’s what scares me! Can’t wait to move (when the boy retires) to warmer climes.
I look forward to it for you!! Maybe near New England. We do have cold winters, but nothing as bad as yours!!!
I lived in Maine for a bit in my youth…nothing near as bad as this! And I’m older now and no so tolerant. My swear-o-meter is off the charts.
Yes, we become more ‘thin-skinned’ as we age – literally!!! xo
So glad to see those poetry muses stirring, Karen — and what better way to handle the North Dakota winters than with a bit of whimsy! I’ve finally gotten out my funk too – posted a couple of days ago at Heartspoken. Here’s to warming…weather, heads, and hearts…
I think we all need to start blogging again…me, you, Shawn…
I am so enjoying your book. Great job.
Thank you, Paul. Your enjoyment means the world to me.
