December starts cold
precipitation promised
snow days may be many
Black asphalt, bleak, wet, and cold
Snow tumbling down, down
contact, melting, gone
pretty from inside
warm, cozy, kid-filled classroom
excited looks wander
Fluttering, falling
some drifts, tumbles, lazily lands
won't accumulate
You are meeting your challenge to write haikus. The "cozy, kid-filled classroom" is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt was a strange day in the 1st grade workshop. I blamed the snow. :)
DeleteWell done Emily! Your favorite stanza is my favorite one!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and commenting!
DeleteThat's wonderful! Can you tell us about the haiku challenge?
ReplyDeleteHi Christie! I learned of the challenge while reading and commenting last week. So, I joined Elisabeth at the dirigible plum in posting a haiku for my slice of life. She is part of the challenge to post a haiku a day in the month of December. She has studied the form and intent of haiku and I find her posts very informative!

DeleteI love this! I am a fairly new poet, and find that I prefer specific poetry forms like haiku to write within. I've wondered if it's ok to write multiple stanzas of haiku, and can see from yours that it flows beautifully. Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words. I am by no means a poet...but it's fun playing with words, so maybe more of a poet than I think.
