When I opened my curtains this morning, contrary to the weather forecast, the sun was shining. This led me to write a haiku with a heart warming vision. There’s a night time haiku on my disturbing the dust blog or a darker vision here.
after long absence
sun warms bare arms; fires
eyes to winter souls.

I know that you are having it much worse than us. Here on the south coast of England we rarely get snow. Our forecast was rain until Friday.

This is lovely. To stand at the window with bare arms requires lots of sunshine! Thanks for linking this to One Deep Breath.

Thanks, Sandy. The bare arms were bent to be of the trees not myself. I wanted to connect the human ‘eyes’ with the ‘arms’ in nature. Maybe i need to do a little editing. I didn’t really want to use ‘branches’ but if it’s not clear…

Nice haiku and warming photo. It’s not quite zero here today and the sun is shining, but my arms are under about four layers of clothing…
