calm after the storm (haibun)

Recently, winter showed its face with a venegence…two days of heavy snow and snowdrifts scaring drivers into ditches and so much more. But we are on week 3 and clean up is still going on but the temperature is rising and allowing the snow to be less permanent…the sun is shining and hope is in the air…spring, hopefully is around the corner. The darkness of February and the blues is lifting and onto March winds to clean the grounds. Let’s hope the melting slows down a bit for the earth to catch up as well.

heavy snowfall
slows life momentarily
in February
bedlam throughout all the roads
‘til the slosh of melting snow

    1. Hi Janice, It was not that cold (according to our standards actually) but lots and lots of wind and snow. Tonight it is going down to 1F…I admit that is chilly alright. Had to put the heat up and will sleep with my socks [haha]. Hate the thaw then freeze though as I will have to keep my cleats on my boots to walk on those bumpy icy sidewalks.
