Fraiku: Haikonfusion

Posted on 2023-12-01 by Bartholomew Barker

Killing frost then sultry storms
Pink buds next to rusty leaves
All seasons all year ’round

    I love the haiku and the portmanteau word that describes it —

    As chance would have it – we had our first frost this morning – put food out for the birds – who are now enjoying the largesse – and filled up their water-dishes. I don’t like being cold – but I do like being woolly!

    Synthetics suck –
    Just make me sweat

    You can’t beat wool
    For warmth.
