Blistering Wind - Tanka - December 17, 2014

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

Winter Feeling - Kamishibai (haibun) - November 10, 2014

  

Kymco Scooter

The car wouldn’t start but be that as it may, MaryEllen had to go to work.  It was dark, snow flakes had begun to fall but the roads were still  fairly clean.  She got onto her scooter.  Just as she was parking she hit the ice.
