School Trip 1960

saw Swiss glacier:

 solid snow like congealed lard;

        today it's dripping.

Gerald, an exceptional haiku (or senryu; I can never remember). A striking example of perspective and the benefits of such as we discuss the environment and climate change. “Lard” conveys the hideousness of the tragedy. If you didn’t submit this one for the Cafe collaboration, you might consider it.

Thanks. It's a senryu. A haiku rhymes, strictly speaking. First I've heard of the Cafe collaboration and I've been on this site for several years. How do I access it?

Thanks for clarification, Gerald. Send a message to Emmajoy. She’s the coordinator. It looks like it might be closed now, but she can tell you. I understand it’s an annual event.
