slowly building it up

melted snow-
footsteps
on concrete path

Inspired by tikkis.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

footprints on snow
aliens
from outerspace?

Inspired by John McDonald

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

mysteriously
misty snow
enters into my pores

Inspired by Snow floats by Ken Wagner

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fog rolling in
dracula's daughter
lives in sin!

Inspired by midnight fog by J. Andrew Lockhart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

knives of icicles
cannot prick into
my sandcastle dreams

Inspired by Sandcastle dreams by Janice Thompson

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

slipped yet again
into that precipice-
saved by a log

Inspired by Rain Melts by Ken Wagner

    I enjoyed this progression of imagse and was glad we were saved by a log in the end. Snow has a way of insisting on itself; thank goodness for the chance objects that keep us from falling into it!

    I really enjoyed the first haiku-- very meditative. Some of the others show great humor. Nice progression.

    That first one is a seamless, complete image in itself. I really enjoyed all of these small breaths inward...

    I like all of these, many intriguing images. Perhaps my favorite is the one that least fits the overall arc -- "dracula's daughter" such a fun nonsequitur.

    All are lovely word pictures, My favourite was the second one...I think many aliens have inhabited us in the winter :)
