dancing interlude (haiku)

bitter cold winds
pirouetting midst the old oak,
scarf on a branch
~
winter promenade
dances on mirrored street,
the old man falls

**or**
winter promenade
hobbling across mirrored street
tap dancing
**or**
winter promenade
leaping across mirrored street
break dance

      Indeed, it was so cold tonight, my face felt lie a brain freeze and I had not even eaten ice cream!

    Very nicely done. I wish the old man didn’t fall though.

      Well, I tried to slip in a comical image…I struggled between stumbled and fell.

    Nicely done! Great imagery — I want my scarf back, I see it tangles in the branch dancing away. https://adaspoetryalcove.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/lion-dance-shishimai/

      I should change “fall” to “stumble”

        I guess we all have that protective instinct — we laugh, but we also fear for the old guy. Though when *I* fall I know it’s pretty darn hysterical — arms flapping and weird sounds coming out of my mouth. o.O

        It’s so good to know that the explanations are appreciated. I look at some of the others’ entries and think, “what does THAT mean?” and “how’d they do THAT” — because I know so little about the programs they use and the processes.

        It’s also good – so I remember what works and what doesn’t! 😉

        Sorry about the stumbling/fall — didn’t mean to create more work for you — !
