Announcement

I have been feeling distinctly uninspired as of late; I am not sure if it is a lull in my personal life, or if blogging has just become a creative burden. I've decided that I will take a rest from posting my poetry for the Winter - say, until February? I am hoping that I can rest my brain and let myself get back to what I love about poetry. You can always find me over at the other blog I contribute to, and probably with greater frequency now.
So, until the Spring I say: let the poetic hibernation commence!

Side Note: Bears, unlike skunks or groundhogs, are not true hibernators. However, since I'm not truly hibernating either, we can let this slide.

Finally Some Snow

Flurry Haiku 

 Watching speckled skies,
cold air echos in my lung.
Silence on the street.

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

It was snowing last night! It didn't accumulate, but it was wonderful to walk in with a cup of hot coffee. It made me immensely happy, and I can hardly wait for some real snow to arrive.

Gross Winter

No Snow Haiku

 Cold mud underfoot,
hardening on my boot's sole.
The air smells too damp.

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

I want snow. I love snow; I think it's pretty, and I don't even mind driving in it. I don't understand why it is 54 degrees in December - it is an outrage! We had a little snow. It soon became ugly and gray, then melted into mud. Gosh darn it, this is suppose to be Winter! C'mon, snow! Let's blanket the world, already!

I'm Still Here, Don't Worry!

Coughing Haiku 

 'Tis the Season for
sniffles and coughing and chills.
Pajamas and tea.

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

I have a cold. This, especially during the busy Holiday Season, has made it very difficult for me to update my blog. But, I am feeling better and I will start updating regularly again this week! Hooray!
