Haiku about the weather
by Joel Hammond-Turner

This is a rolling haiku that should evocatively describe the weather and environment thoughout the year. The original suggestion was a haiku about the weather on the slopes of Mount Fuji - but  we are now making this open to a haiku about the weather anywhere.

The standard haiku format is a triplet of lines containing five, seven, and five syllables per line.

 


Title: January Blues
Author: Cherry Lyons

Grey, wet, winter sky.
Dreary, weary, depressing.
Two more months follow.


Title: Snow on the Hills
Author: Peter Philips

Thick fluffy blanket
Exclusive footsteps design
Limited supply

Title: Woodland walk
Author: Robert Johns

Bright powder blue sky
Ice capped silver birch trees
Shimmer resplendent.

Title: Wild Storms
Author: Geraldine Harper

Pummeled, savaged, floored.
Raging, heartless, relentless.
Wild storms conquer all. 

Title: Winter Morning
Author: Tom Williams

Frost laced countryside.
Crystal skies, sparkling sunshine.
Snowdrops peeping through.



Title: Gloom with no view
Author: Pamela Lloyd

Dirty, lazy sky.
Suffocating gloominess.
S.A.D. time of year.

Title: Grimy Commute
Author: Geraldine Harper

Wearisome journey.
Damp, drizzly, miserable.
Van doors read "WASH ME".



Title: New Horizon
Author: Peter Philips

Look up to pleated,
sun-streaked clouds. Look down to green,
luminous Spring shoots.



Title: Interlude

Cutting winter's gloom
our spirits are lifted by
scented Spring flowers.

Strolling in the sun
by carpets of Spring flowers;
Smiling comes easy.

Title: Sunny Day; Frosty Night

Crisp twilight sparkle;
the sky throws on its winter
cloak. The air soon chills.

Title: Weather Forlorn

Friday's rush-hour rain

Soon here. Soon gone. Snow
flurries blow in from the East
but do not linger.


Title: Gotcha!

Snow slipping from tree
branches covers doomed walkers.
Hear their surprised shrieks!


Title: More than a drop of snow.

Snow flattens snowdrops.
Perpetual heavy falls
wipe out their namesake.

Soft, gentle, Spring air
Faces skyward as we walk.
This is more like it!
