Oh Haiku, It's Snowing!

A few days ago, I expressed my dismay to some writers' friends that it was snowing here in Northern Massachusetts. This sparked Angie Hunt to offer a haiku...that spawned a host of haikus from around the country. I have enjoyed every one and I trust you will, too!

Read on...you may find your favorite author offering a little taste of their weather, joy, and humor on this Thanksgiving week.

Balmy is my sky.
I will wear shorts and bare feet.
Warmed by hot flashes.

Flashes you may have,
Yet much hair remains on top.
Blessings you should count.

The snow lies in white.
It promises newfound grace,
But it breaks my back.
Kathryn Mackel

Snowy is my sky
Loving hubby is away
Shovel's working hard

Last night's weather show
told me today 'twould not snow
But I see it lied.

Pink clouds scatter sun.
Desert breezes whisper heat.
Morning in Tempe.
Beverly McCoy, Arizona

Wind in palms: dry rain.
Desert waterfall runs loud.
Hot breeze. Thirst unslaked.
Beverly McCoy

Palms trill soprano.
Ipod silent in my bag.
Prickly pear sings bass.
Beverly McCoy

Where is the winter?
Texas days are still too hot
It's eighty degrees

Well behaved snow rests
On mountain tops not streets.
Oregon. Heaven.

Snow has come at last
It fell while I was sleeping

Peaceful rushing waves,
And in the dead of winter
We have hummingbirds.

Falling leaves cling to
Wet brown earth where summer sun
Kissed grass days ago.

Just a very warm 70 degrees.
I hate sweating while carving the turkey!
Oh for a little snow. Just a dusting.

God blessed Idaho.
Here I see snowcapped mountains
Rising up in praise.

Already I’m stuffed
So much to be thankful for
Still, I do miss group

Blue sky, warm breezes

No snow on Florida lawns

Visitors crowd streets
