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

    A lovely success! As for weather here, we too are on a roller coaster of rides!

    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.'

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

    I quite like the "unseen hands working" detail. It was rather poignant. Thanks.

    Greetings from London.

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

    very inventive with the haiku...I find it such a difficult form to write...you do it very well.

    It certainly does seem like the climate is changing and it certainly is confusing! Nicely done.

    Not only is the weather confused, but many people are confused these days as well!

    I use to love looking at the uniqueness of the snow flakes when I was kid. I have to start doing that again. Great work :-)
