January 14, daily moments Winter’s dress (Kikôbun)

Daily moments, Kikobun, Waka 1 Minute

The wind had died down yet the temperatures had dropped.  Wrapped in her down-filled coat, fleece cagoule and studs clipped on her wool lined boots,  she took her time walking from the Métro.  Walking through the fresh fallen snow, felt like trudging through bushels of icing sugar…fluffy and white.  She felt like a child again, kicking that fluff up and watching the weightless fluff spill over her boots.

Soft patches of ice hidden beneath the snow caught a few night walkers by surprise as they slipped; their bodies wobbling like circus clowns, yet refused to give in to gravity.  “Ah, they were so young and agile”, she thought.  She was quite pleased she had extra insurance to stay grounded on her walk home.

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. huh, you must have the powdery snow. Generally down here we get the wet heavy kind that’s not fun to shovel but occasionally we get the powdery type, which I like much better! 🙂

    1. Well it is chilly only minus 15C but with the windchill (that almost knocked me over) it feels way colder. At least at night when I finish work, the wind has died down.

  4. love the tree in its ‘Sunday-best’
    We have not seen any snow yet this winter. Those grips for soles look to be a good idea.

    1. They are since I am not as quick to avoid a fall. Since I returned to Montreal 6 years ago, I have fallen four times…now I have the grips and so far, so good:)
