Magpie Tales has given us a new image this week to stimulate literary creativity. This photograph first elicited a smile from me and then I noticed the stark contrast between the cool and warm colours. The contrast engendered three haiku.
Gently, silently
Snow falls outside my window;
Hot thoughts of your love.
Warm wool covers me up,
Fire burns fiercely in fireplace –
Alone my heart: Cold.
Wind howls, air freezes,
Icicles snap; Who needs furs,
While we two embrace?
ReplyDeleteI like it! I would rather an embrace than a brace of furs.
Love the Chekhov quote, btw.
Amiable, engaging and welcome.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrasts in your haiku poetry .... very nice indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteBody heat - really can't beat it! Nice little Haiku's indeed.
ReplyDeleteWe're waiting on snow falling tonight here in Scotland but my lads wish they were spending their winter months in Australia.......!
Body heat indeed. Cures all feelings of coldness.
ReplyDeleteThe first two lines must have been written for today in Havant! :)
