Snow Love

Winter is cold, but I sometimes think snow has personality. This poem came to me on my drive into work this morning (driving through some flurries of course).

Snow Love

 

David’s icy stars

melting on my nose and tongue

heavenly romance

I've always felt a sense of cold tranquility when standing and watching snow fall. It's usually quiet, most of the birds have left for warmer havens and those left don't speak much until they start attracting mates and marking territory in the Spring.

I've always liked the way you use religious imagery. Being brought up VERY Catholic, those images are a huge part of me, not in a faith sort of way, but more like being Jewish I think. Anyway, long review for a short verse! Well done, and thank you for bringing back fond memories of snow for me. :)

Thanks, Mark. There really is something unique about the way that snow falls- it's gentle, determined, and despite the drudgery of cleaning the walkway, it is beautiful.

nice to see real haiku, and so good.

there are many haiku sites and magazines now that are saying haiku is no longer 5-7-5 syllables...

but it is in its purest form...just as you have written it.
