blistering wind
heavy grey listless skies
portents of snow
walking huddled to the store
my coat keeps me warm

This was written for Haiku with Ha ... he wrote a lovely haibun as an introduction to the prompt, telling us about a recent trip he took to the north of his country ... have a look by following the link!
We adapt. Keep warm. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are still in the 40's F or 4 C - I thought there was frost on the cars yesterday morning but it was just a thick foggy mist. I've only had to put on my 'long janes' once or twice so far. I actually bundled up Little Miss and took her for a walk around the block (she in her stroller) and I walking briskly.
True ... we are so adaptable ... thanks for sharing your winter adventures with me! Here it's 1 C today ... and the mountains are white!
DeleteThe wind comes blistering indeed. A well-penned tanka.
