Haiku February

[RICHARD]

warm heater outlets
dog and cat take turns lounging,
absorbing the heat.

Dog makes trip outdoors
Feet cold fur wet with water.
Look out, yellow snow!

Sno flakes, all different
but one thing puzzles me.
White is standard hue?

Cold cat disappears
Hours pass, where has he gone?
On my bed, dreaming!

Microfleece blanket
protection against the cold
Shared with sleeping cat?

[cassiesmom]

It has snowed all night
But it seems to have stopped now
For the time being.

[Karen]

All shoveled round one
Snow is still falling, though, my
Poor car has a mohawk

[Lady's Human]

Long delayed justice
Competent assistance gone
No arbitration

[Karen]

Long delayed justice
Competent assistance gone
No arbitration

Regarding ... {he explained in a PM}

[Karen]

Night has come, with it
The beep and scrape of snowplows
Disrupts cold stillness

[Barbara]

February sun
Anticipating spring time
Do not come back, winter!

[Karen]

Fresh banana bread
Cools on the counter, tempting
But too hot to taste

One cannot sneak one
Slice off a newly baked loaf
And go unnoticed

[RICHARD]

New snow on the ground
Winter Olympics on tube.
It's the ambience?

Watching in warm clime-
No snow to be found on ground?
Come on, It's winter!

My So Cal fashion
T shirts, cargo pants, sandals
Have no place in ice.

Boxed away, hiding
All my summer clothes and shoes
In time, warmer again?

Stomping ice off shoes
Ice chips stick and melt on floor.
Blame it on snow man?

[Karen]

Banana bread is
Best shared-brought two loaves to church
Uncle Mac would smile

Sent a few slices
Home to an ailing member
Banana bread heals

[Karen]

Tropical peach and
Prom dress lavender streak the
Sky beyond the trees

Winter sunset stays
Low behind the black lace of
Silhouetted limbs

[RICHARD]

Children bundled up
trudging down the street to wait
For the school bus

[Karen]

The only sound now
Is the quiet hush of snow
Filling air and sky

Even the wild birds
Are quiet within the hedge
Conserving their song

[Karen]

Quiet outside now
Just the rush of snow falling
The world hunkers down

[Karen]

Pink heart-shaped cookies
Are fun to share with neighbors
While we break the ice

Wondering if that's where the "breaking the ice" conversation term comes from, as on a morning after a storm people you never usually counter are all outside at the same time, literally breaking up ice and shoveling snow!
