Roots/Connection Haiku


While we slept, the snow
dusted our walkway for prints:
Gaia's detective.




The snowclouds let go
and their burden becomes mine.
Time to sweep the walk.




The boxwood bushes
enjoy the attention while
they try on white coats.


(Thanks to the women of One Deep Breath
for their continuing inspiration.
Update: Now with photos!)

Nice snowy haiku, I really like the bushes in their white coats and the snow being Gaia's detective.

I liked "the snowclouds let go"... when you see snow clouds, it does look like they are full to bursting! Just lovely!

Fun series. I really like this one:

The snowclouds let go
and their burden becomes mine.
Time to sweep the walk.

Shelley,
I have had similar thoughts as you describe in your first. Very creative.
Also like "trying on white coats"
