February 1st:
the gray sky outside
creeps in my window to plant
the gray inside me
February 2nd:
fiery ice and snow
old shoes invite them inside
toes so cold they burn
February 3rd:
snowy sleety ice
interferes with daily life
kids rejoice, no school
February 4th:
featherlike, drifting
dancing in the crisp, cold winds
snowflakes journey on
February 5th:
winds make ice tinkle
snow crunches, fire crackles, pops
listen to winter
February 6th:
white deceit so pure
floating harmlessly to hide
deadly ice below
February 7th:
red scarves and black gloves
decorate skin as snowflakes
decorate the earth
February 8th:
bright, life-affirming,
yellow rays of doom for ice
I love you, sunshine
February 9th:
snowball fights, snowmen,
snow angels lining my yard,
winter of my youth
February 10th:
finding gloves and boots,
scraping ice, salting driveway
my winter today
February 11th:
snowflakes on my cheeks
howling winds breathe in my ears
winter welcomes me
February 12th:
dark mornings, gray days,
mysterious long, dark nights
cloak winter's secrets
February 13th:
sunshine in the air
bits of green beneath my feet
the promise of Spring
February 14th:
snowballs, hot cocoa
children's laughter ringing out
warmth in wintertime
February 15th:
headache, fever, chills
hacking, coughing, stuffy nose
winter's gifts to me
February 16th:
stirring chili pot
boiling water for cocoa
making my own Spring
February 17th:
melted snow feeds grass
warm breeze tickles buds on trees
can Springtime be far?
February 18th:
bright yellow warmth calls
sunshine steal my breath away
hope of Spring blooms forth
February 19th:
thick fur drapes my cat
thicker fur protects my dog
fake fur surrounds me
February 20th:
cold sluggish feeling
dark depressing grudging thoughts
winter in my heart
February 21st:
heavens open wide
thick, downy, white fluff showers
slowly carpet earth
Febraury 22nd:
like thick heavy chains
the cold harsh winter weather
drags down my spirit
February 23rd:
frost, where is your bite?
sunshine diminishes you
and brings hope to life
February 24th:
Spring serves up divine
poetic justice to make
winter hibernate
*Yes, I know most of my haikus don't really fit the spirit of the genre, but 24 haikus about winter so far? Cut me some slack! ^_~
February 25th:
dainty fragile drop
perfect crystal reflection
ice, pretty danger
February 26th:
soft white cottontail
flitting and dancing above
soft white cotton snow
February 27th:
bleak gray blankets earth
beauty slumbers underground
dreaming of release
February 28th:
breezes blow warmer
snow and ice become water
the first redbird sings
*Woohoo! I did it! A haiku a day for the month of February. (We'll pretend they all fit the real definition of haiku.) And I'm even going to throw in an extra one:
cold winds still blowing
heavens still snowing, but hark
kittens are coming
(Yes, my rotten cat went into heat and got out and ... )
the gray sky outside
creeps in my window to plant
the gray inside me
February 2nd:
fiery ice and snow
old shoes invite them inside
toes so cold they burn

snowy sleety ice

I think these read like a diary of my mood during February. LOL! I do not like winter, thank you very much. And I found it a bit difficult to write so many of these based on that one theme. Now, I know I didn't capture the genre very well--sticking to the more common American concept of the 5-7-5 verses and straying from nature a bit in some of them instead of simply the minimalistic focus on an "epiphany" of nature, but ... eh, sue me. ^_^
I'm quite pleased that I did it, and I want to thank
for mentioning it in the first place!
P.S. It doesn't pay to dare me, does it,
?
