frigid day (daily moments Nov 10/17)

Tournesol Daily moments, Senryû, Tournesol dans un jardin 2017-11-102017-11-10 1 Minute

Sun pales the sky
as I breathe the cool brisk air
puffs of smoke

autumn winds
leaves blowing on the road
the old man’s hat

Daily moments – frigid day nov 19 /17 MicroPoetry Month #10

This morning I could only reflect “freely” on this and so these haiku are my writing freely. It finally went minus 5 C and snow covered the lives on the side of the streets. I had to take the plunge and wear my winter coat and warm scarf. brrrrrrrrr

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 View all posts by Tournesol

  Indeed November can bring winter for a few weeks and then we’re confused by Christmas time. With global warming it has changed so much. In the past winter here has always been mid-November until mid April…not anymore.

Sounds like the temperatures dropped, and the wind was having it way with you. Here too. A nice write.

  Yes, I imagine your weather is very similar…living near an island too. I find it colder on the island of Montreal than my place just south of the bridge. Gotta get my warmer mitts and scarves out of the basement this weekend.
