White Petals: Winter

Monday, January 17, 2011

sleet and rain-
stirring extra sugar
into hot mush

all day long
the rhythmic beat
of melting ice

blank date book-
the gray afternoon
turns to white

Modern Haiku

Acorn

Chrysanthemum

Lorena said...: very nice, I like the way you jazzed up a winters day. I can almost see the jazz music cover for a band called Hot Mush and a title track called "extra sugar" !; January 24, 2011 at 12:14 AM
Adelaide said...: Thanks, Lorena. Here's to Hot Mush and "extra sugar" and the hit parade.
