Georgia gives us this poem by Robert Frost:
Dust of Snow
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
And we also have a haiku by Richard Wright:
In the falling snow
A laughing boy holds out his palms
Until they are white.
And I will try to write something that express something from both these poems in the form of a haiku, both of them express how the snow gives joy or at least relief to a sad mind…
Therefore I write:
In the crow’s shadow
I become a child again –
making snow-angels

Lovely. The moment of joy is well expressed in your haiku, being a child again and enjoying small things in life. 🙂
Great response …. you did it Björn … you caught both poems in your haiku … isn’t it great to look back to your childhood …. making snow-angels 🙂
Success you captured the essence of both. Well done. 🙂
Beautifully done! Love Caillebotte’s painting. it goes perfect with your poem.
How great it was to make snow angels … great haiku!
Beautiful imagery.
Really superb. The technique you used in the northern lights haiku showed another kind of haiku, both you at your best
Bjorn, This brings back memories. Well written. 🙂 — Suzanne
Beautifully done!
The crow is so loaded with symbolism in literature. (Really I can’t think of another creature – off the top of my head – more so.) Though, here – becoming a child again, in its shadow – I tend to think of it in the sense of conferring magic and/or a prophetic sign. (A mystery pinned against a shadow – but why that shadow. Therein lies the puzzle. Very interesting) Once away, much to muse upon here – and wonderfully drawn, of course.
