lost (Haiga – Freestyle haiku)

CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI, Haiku, Photography, tanka 1 Minute

I feel a bit silly after writing my love of spring weather and embracing that “feel good” ambiance on my way to work this afternoon…hence the tanka, Love is in the air.  As I stepped out tonight to come home at  22:00, this is what I saw…I felt like writing a poem starting with SNOW is a 4-letter word but decided to turn this into an opportunity and write a more thought-provoking “free style” haiku for this haiga festival.

scribbles a haiku
sunnyside of sidewalk
now lost in snow

now lost in snow
mind slips in overcast
too spent to resume
blow blow, let the wind blow
weary brain may recover

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. And this time of year some drivers were probably using other four letter words last night…lovely white thick snow, topped with icy pellets layered over black ice:( So glad I take the bus

      6. They are all pretty calm…one young fella was listening to amazing jazz on the way home one night. It’s an express, so they just whip across the Champlain bridge to Place Bonaventure…takes 15 -20 mins.

  2. Your feelings of being lost in winter really come across here – in a very poetic way. I do like the idea of a haiku of snow as a 4 letter word though 🙂 I really hope you get some better weather soon.
