Haiku February

[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

[Bonny]

frost on the window panes
birds crowding around the feeders
frost on the trees
oh how I wish for a warm southern breeze

[Karen]

I know I am strange
I scan the forecasts hoping
For more snow to come

[Karen]

Favorite fleeting
Color: the blue snow turns at
Dusk in winter's depth

[Karen]

Something about a
Bitter cold night makes me
Want to bake something

Not that I have time
Or need for baked goods to eat
But the urge exists
