Since the New Year, I have neglected my practice of haiku writing. Shameful of me so here is a Carpe Diem Special featuring the haiku of **Alexey Andreyev. The challenge, to “write a new haiku inspired on the one given [below], but it has to be in the same tone, sense and spirit.”
Here we go…
first snowflakes!
I love them too much to think
They’ll melt by noon**
even before dawn,
snowflakes drift first over path
…make way for footprints!
For those in their winter months, I hope you enjoy some time walking in the snow, hearing the crunches with each footstep. Most of the first snow here is long gone. Maybe more snow later but I hope spring is near and anxious to give warmer weather.
Thank you and peace be with you.

We haven’t had snow yet here in The Netherlands, but you never know … and than I surely will go walking in it (on bare feet).

i don’t know why i have this image of the Netherlands covered in snow all the time…i’m just another geography dummy. 🙂 thanks for bringing good cheers and a smile thinking about you walking around – bare feet – in the snow…when it comes, Kristjaan.

As much as I’m not a big fan of snow, there’s something magical about those first footprints in fresh snow

You’re lucky in there to have snowflakes, as I dont’. I’m lucky here to have the wild white cockatoos crossing the street, but you don’t. Would you like to swap? Once a while doesn’t hurt.

The ones here are not noisy. I read them my poems, so they know how to sing.
