Photos of last January flow
Sun shines on white crystals
Pulling on boots and gloves
The shovel groans
“It’s too cold. Can’t we wait?”
I look at today’s forecast
Last year’s high is today’s low
I can enjoy my pictures of snow
(my shovel agrees)
****
rub hands together
last January’s photo
memory’s cold
The prompt at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai is Shoukan or Less Cold. I confess I am enjoying above freezing temps.

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

That’s was fun! By the way, a few flurries came our way today. It looks like they’re bring colder temperatures with them (a forecasted high of 37)!

It’s strange how hot it is everywhere. On my side of the world, it’s over 40 degrees Celsius.
