Global Haiku Traditions Spring 2008

school canceled
we lay down
snow angels

making angels
in freshly fallen snow
two sisters

trying her best
to not leave her handprint
a snow angel

limbs waving
face to the sky
I search for real angels

mischievous snowman
lures me away
from homework

no magic hat
yet, eyes
full of life

snow day
a snow man
completed with dog biscuits

the snowman
grows through
the blizzard

tongue sticking out
arms outstretched
first snow

holding dad’s hand
catching snowflakes
on my tongue

little maps
of some animal—
footprints in the snow

new snow
even the trash
glitters

frost-covered window
the child grins
first snow

first flakes
a child presses his nose
to the window

a snowflake
finds a home
on her eyelash

diamonds
on eyelashes
her first snow
