The cold was not a deterrent

The Haiku

Winter cold creeps in
Small animals scampering
Stocking their larder


The Prose

Activities picked up at Autumn's end. The impending cold imposed
hibernation tendencies. Living creatures snugly close to each other.
Fun for kids outside. Parents to catch up on tinkering in the house.
Never a dull moment even though snowing. The cold was not a deterrent

(total of 55 words)


For Chev's CARPE DIEM   -  In Kamishibai Extreme #1
to write a haibun (haiku + prose) in not more than 55 words
on the Winter Feeling

  4. Give me the sun any day, but I guess we have to put up with the snow sometime.
    A great read and write.
