Driving In The Snow (a haiku)

go away winter! enough of your icy breath! snowflakes dip and dive ~A I know you're keeping each other warm. ;-) "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

While your haiku makes a very funny point,and i liked it by the way,i have to say something.I should be the one wanting winter to pack its bags the most,and heres why:I live in Kentucky,and if you have watched the news lately,my state has just gotten over the most damaging ice storm in its history.While the lights in my house were only off for less than four hours....608,000 residents were not so lucky.Many have waited for more than two weeks for their power to return,and even in my own town,there has been Red Cross workers helping with emergency shelters,not to mention the National Guard,and FEMA visiting half the state to clear downed power lines,and offer medical help.Lastly,the state has suffered 8 deaths from the storm.I know this is not the happiest comment in the world,but old man winter showed me and the bluegrass state another side to himself this year. I still love winter,though.It has its good side.And i know you know that. Your friend,in peace, Scott.

I´ve bought me a flower today, to make me feel like spring is here to come! Jess, this is really great, you should write more Japanese poetry, you seem to have a knack for it! Yours, ~Nina

although the snowflakes this season have seemed far fatter and more scenic than post years. It is nearly 50 today, so a nice respite. Only 4 weeks of winter left! Mark W. "our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers." 1 Timothy 4:10
