deep snow
the teazles wear
white busbies

snow storm
outdoor cat becomes
indoor cat

mini-snow-storm
at the bird table
...starlings

blizzard rages
I pick extra chilli
to toss in the soup.
Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.

Lovely. Here's one, not a haiku

[b]Turned Page[/b]

if I start with soil
and the random pull of the sun

the hours lost
would have a root
a truth

the glisten of rain
solemnity

potential
in my weight
behind the spade’s edge

promise
in the lilt of a cabbage white
in the dark corners
of the compost heap

if I could start with soil
till the hours
clean open

there would be poetry
Welcome to Finland!!

Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
