first snowflakes!
I love them too much to think
they'll melt by noon           -          Alexey Andreyev

the snowflakes return
prayers met with much relief
timely happenings

unseen hands working
global warming results in
weather confusion             -          Hank's

Note:  The goal of this Carpe Diem Special is to write
a new haiku inspired by that of Alexey Andreyev’s above

Written for Chev’s CARPE DIEM #72 and
d'Verse OpenLinkNight week#128

  5. There IS beauty in first snowflakes for sure, but in my area thi year it seems that there are WAY too many days of 'first snowflakes.'

  7. They are pretty to look at but if there's a lot, they sure are messy ~ Happy Tuesday Hank ~

  10. Snowflakes can be beautiful floating down but, I think mother nature
    has taken a new course and it worries me Hank..
