September heights–grass

Posted on September 15, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

my braided grass hair
will dry and snap to its roots–
no warmth under snow

    nice haiku. Worry not, Susan! A Haiku coined in the instant to ease your worries –

    snow, though cold it blows,
    touches not the warmth beneath
    that braided grass hair

    Perhaps you need to wait for the snow to melt 😉

    Ah…but the snow is said to keep the grass warm! Perhaps it is a lie perpetrated to placate us in winter. I love the images in this one, Susan.

    Maybe you can be the grass of the spring instead, and become a spring snowflake in the winter.. 🙂

    A sad thought, hopefully not true, as there is always warmth under the snow but perhaps it’s warmth is to nourish new growth and we have to leave the old behind. Love your haiku, Susan.

    That’s an awfully loud and painful snap!

    I think you and I were looking at the same thing in a different season. I like your imagery.
