Warming

Karen Arnold

snow is on the ground

there is a gentle hush

peepers sing with joy

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai January http://chevrefeuillescarpediem.blogspot.com/

“Harusamu (cold spring) … it’s that thin line between winter and spring, because in late winter it can be very cold, but it can also be very cold in early spring as is this kigo saying. I have looked into my archives to find haiku which are fitting this kigo, harusamu (cold spring) and I found a few nice haiku published once on my own personal weblog and here on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. So it is possible that you have read these haiku earlier.

first snow of the year
covers fragile blossoms
tears in my eyes

such a sad event
young cherry blossoms frozen
in a cold spring night

Tulips in the snow
coloring a white blanket –
returning cold
