cold bedding (haibun)

Haibun 1 Minute

Ten days passed since I had been to work, and since I had marched on that footpath…my shortcut to work.  Today I walked through the bush on this cold sunny day, slipping on the icy patches mourning the dormant shrubs…all I could see now, were patches of brown leaves and branches hugging the snow surface.  I did not take a photo of this new image. No, looking around at the huge change, I needed to mourn the life trampled on by heavy wet snow. Tomorrow will be another day…then, and only then, perhaps shall I photograph  this newly treacherous footpath.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

      1. Oh absolutely, your writing always speaks to me. While I’m here–can you advise me about purchasing those “grips” for footwear? Are the steel spike ones better, or not–and which would be both effective and economical? My research left me feeling overwhelmed, and price is always an issue. Thanks in advance.

      5. Thanks Cheryl-Lynn–and I’ll call the P.O. tomorrow, see if I can get someone to answer the phone and offer a pro’s opinion. Mostly around here, the postal folks drive around in little trucks, rather than walking a “beat”.
