Snow

Nice! Enjoy the day and we look forward to your new pics!

Just today, along the beach
I strode in flurrious cold.
the prints of my boots
in sand remembered steps,
as icy wind hit my face
its traveler,,, white flakes.
""")))))((((((((...............
upward I smiled at this piece
of time recorded in my mind.

oooohhh. I like that.

Nice word painting there, Soferdig!

Where Is It?
The mountains there are Rocky
The game they play is hockey
Powder makes for happy sport
Gardening season is too short

I espy only dirt
not a flake or speck of snirt

LOL!

You guys are great!

Last weekend's snow is almost gone
That stuff that fell so thickly
It brought some moisture for my lawn
And came and went so quickly

Nice!

That was good, Lisabees!

Excellent!

Now snow does not stay long in Denver
The way some folks maintain
We have them fooled you must remember
We're firmly on the plain

Droughtish sigh
I say O My!
Will I see snow?
I do not know.

Rain and clouds have blessed this place
All through the week the sky showed no space
Tomorrow it cools and snow is planned
The white will cover the granules of sand
Winter is here and we all can't wait
To get out sleds, skis and especially our skates!

In Telluride where we will ski
they have a new test of ability
A skating rink for those who dare
I used to skate but now I'm scared!

No worries for snow
Sunday will be wet again
Then sunshine prevails


(I kinda like haiku)

I like Haiku, too
it took some thought to learn it
then it is easy

Haiku is fine
But, I like to rhyme
No snow here
Just clear sunshine

forecast was for snow
it is warm and sunny now
I guess they were wrong

Flakes fell this morning
but not one stuck on the ground
wrong forecasts are good

Most excellent haiku lisabees!

What is the rules with Haiku. So many syllables or what in each row.

I think it is 5-7-5. The last line is supposed to be kind of surprising.

A complex form poem
Looks deceptively simple
Coffee is needed

Had your coffee yet?
sleepy eyes, gray sky, bare branches
time to try treacle instead

I thought treacle was jam?? I did have scones with butter and marmalade.

My attempt at Haiku turned out to be Kahuna (5-8-7).
Treacle is pre-molasses. Not quite molasses, 'cuz not that dark.
I put a link on that other thread that's going this morning.
Get the impression I could use another spot of tea.

I thought my count was off! It seemed a lot like 5-7-5.

Oh boy! Kahuna!
Five, eight and seven syllables!
Something new to try to do!

Jude, Jude, oh Judy.
Eight syllables is too many
For the middle line to hold

Now it is evening
After countless cups of tea
Haiku I can do

Haiku flows better
off the tongue and through the brain.
I like rhyming too.

OK I can say,
You all have a different way,
Haiku is too cruel.

Although it is quite interesting that if you read those past three haiku poems in order, they almost seem to rhyme with each other. A hybrid, I think. Though let me say, I am not recommending that we try to emulate this quirk of nature, that would be (at least for me) far too difficult. But naturally occurring, it is very fun!

It's contagious!

Jude & Dave, your Kahunas are very witty & subtle, I must say!

I love reading all this stuff, guys, and thank you for it, but am too mentally exhausted to even think of rhymes and haiku!

You're welcome, PJ
My morning brain is Kahuna
My evening brain is Haiku

Haiku is for fun
Kahuna is for everyone
Post a poem on the wall

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us
With turkey and stuffing and pie
And family gathered around us
To eat not too much we will try
