I haven't written any poetry since the spring, when I wrote "
A tribute to my beard". RachelW, over at
The Waxing Moon, has been inviting readers to contribute some of their own poetry. First she had an invitation to write limericks and then it was haiku. I got a little carried away with the haiku. Here are the poems...
There once was a guy named Joe,
who liked to do art with snow.
A clever young fellow,
he'd paint the snow yellow
when signing his name below.
Two Haiku in Tribute to Snowballs
Balls of snow
flying through the air
caught my eye
The snowmen
pay attention to
their snow balls
Two Haiku in Tribute to Sled Dogs
Steaming breath
trails behind the dogs
as they pull
Dog feces
are easy to scoop
when frozen
Four Haiku in Tribute to the Personal Hazards of the Cold
A boy's tongue
left part of itself
on the pole
Snotsicles
are not conducive
to kissing
In the cold
some body parts grow
and some shrink
Ignorant child
blissfully licking
yellow snow

ahahah okay, are those all from personal experience?? Nothing like licking that yellow snow!
I have no experience licking yellow snow, unless it has been flavoured with lemon syrup (at least, not that I'm aware).
Seriously, though, have you never licked a metal pole in the winter? It's great fun!
Yep. I was 6 and my parents were inside the school for parent teacher interviews. I think I left half of my tongue on the flag pole. My parents must have been so proud...
