Branches on the trees
Swaying gently back and forth
In a winter breeze

Slow down for a bit
Life flies like a bullet train
Each day is a blur

Night sky full of stars
Billions of tiny white lights
Twinkle far away

Naked tree branches
Stripped bare by winter’s harsh grasp

Haiku – 1/17/2016
Soft white snow falling
Cascading down from dark skies
Cold and dreary day

I wrote this Haiku this morning as the snow settled in for a bit. It didn’t stick, gone by noon, but it was beautiful while it lasted. This weather in NC is so crazy. Yesterday I had on shorts and it was in the low sixties while today it was barely out of the thirties with thick heavy flakes of snow for a bit. So, how’s your weather wherever you are? How about something to take our mind off of all this cold stuff?

Sleeping through the night

Stout cup of coffee
Yawns starting to multiply
Sleep deprivation

Haiku – 1/12/2016
Feline perched up high
Cat tree gives her a clear view
Critters in the yard

So, who are you?
Cat or dog person.
Me – cats all the way.
