Monday noon walk (choka + haiku)

(choka)

winter wonderland
snow filling my balcony

sipping my java
redundant image I see

cars slowing their speed
public transit the smart means

at twenty below
feels like minus thirty-five

dressing warm for work
wrapped in wool and feather lined

with studs on my boots
sun still pierces through the clouds

squinting and slogging
shuffling my way to the bus
admiring this winter scene

~

(haiku)

snow covered path
shadow at my side, leaves me
I get on the bus

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. I usually put choka on my other blog but felt my sharing my day blended well with the haiku. Thanks so much, Kristjaan. I may write another, I just didn`t have time to find the shadow photo I had taken.
