Winter Blues Haikus by ~cool4dude:iconcool4dude:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Haiku & Eastern


I
Drunken snowflake dance,
stagger around the street light.
Someone call a cab

II
The cold air's biting
not like a crocodile
more like a puppy

III
Carve the silver lake
with graceful figure 8's
humble ice skater

IV
Sub Zero wind chill-
snot freezes inside nostrils
hot air can't escape

V
Wave your arms and legs
give birth to a snow angel
then watch it ascend

VI
Droopy carrot nose-
Melted snowmen have no pride.
The sun's a killer.

VII
Goose bumps are moguls
and I will ski your body-
Olympic foreplay

VIII
Lonely lost mitten
resting by the curb in snow
abandoned youngster

IX
hanging from the roof,
Icicles are winter's teeth
Come tooth fairy, come.

It's winter time in Minnesota... what can I say. I was rereading [link] (the death of haiku) and was inspired to write some more.


if you want, check out [link] for recordings of some of my other poetry.

Haha! I read "snot freezes inside nostrils" and I knew you must have been from Minnesota before I even scrolled down! I describe the sensation to someone elsewhere and they don't understand! Must be a Minnesota thing.

in school, everyone always finds it hard to do haiku.
To keep up the rhyme scheme AND make it beautiful is a great talent you have. They're pretty tough! Nice work, congrats, and three cheers to inspiration.

You are so special, so c'mon and dance with me.
