welcome to the haikutimes
Issue #107a, Peaceful Valley 3-13-15
Haiku and photography by Jonathan
everything buried
in a foot of fresh powder
whiteness abounds
voices, thoughts muffled
in icy deep corridor
small dog bites my leg
a snowy start
with a sunny middle
what lies at the end?
a pregnant gal
will not lament the lack
of a hard ski trip
she will not care
her biology now prepares her
to accept what is true and real
quiet awareness
paige skis back to the car
heart monitor on
the first day of spring
we receive a fine white gift
that sticks to branches
champagne powder
untouched by afternoon sun
feels pure and new
exhilaration
of swooping down a fast trail
occasional turn
our plans have to change
with arrival of zygote
cancel that ski trip
while I pee in snow
branch above me drops its load
we both leave something
voice and eye memos
taken directly from the source
weighted snow branch curls
pleasure of gliding
with a simple, graceful kick
afternoon in march
