snowflakes fly sideways
grasses sing in the fierce wind
nature bows to storm

Delighted to meet you, I have seen your footprints here and there. I am happy to look for your prompts in future. I love the haiku and tanka forms. All my writing is improving from embracing these forms. I’m not sure I fully understand all these rules, but I have the scent and I am on the trail. 🙂

I like the word, “sing” instead of the darn whistling I hear through the trees and around the corners of the buildings close to my apartment building! The grasses sing! Yes, that cheers me up immensely, Brenda! Smiles, Robin

I’m so happy, I thought the grasses looked quite happy, swatting at the snowflakes and bouncing around merrily. 🙂 I’m glad to cheer you up! Smiles to you, too! Brenda

I’m warm now, but I have to go out into the icy vastness soon. Luckily, I have spikes I can put on my shoes.

Having rarely seen snow I find it absolutely magical. I love the photo of the golden reeds against the fluffy white snow – it looks so magical. Your haiku adds to the magic. Reading your description of the weather conditions when you took the photo I realize it is actually cold, wet stuff that can make life difficult. Keep warm. 🙂

Snow is better than an icy rain when the temps are dropping. That is bad news. Yesterday for instance.

The snow and the wind are so very eloquently displayed in the pic AND in your words.

Thanks. The picture is a bit blurry because the wind was really howling, and I had my back turned so the snow would not ruin the camera. 🙂 I was surprised it turned out at all well. LOL
