"It was one of those March days
when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the
light, and winter in the shade." Charles Dicken
Huddled by the lake
Ice, like shards of glass, splinters...
Cold returns to play
Today, the word is Return Of The Cold
What is Carpe Diem? Blog Owner, Kristjaan
Panneman, describes it as: "a
weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or
non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry
form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as
the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables
and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

A snowfall settles
Cold, wet white winter blankets
Steadily shuts down...

I can feel the cold returning :-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I especially liked the last one.
ReplyDeleteSince summer is fast-approaching, the cold is actually what I'm looking for at the moment.
ReplyDeletehere in our country, summer will come off
ReplyDeleteMarch is probably the hottest in the country. Wish it wouldn't be that bad this year, tho.
ReplyDeleteLovely indeed!
ReplyDeleteReturn of the cold can also mean return of being so stagnant right?
ReplyDeleteLovely photo and beautiful haiku of the season ~ ....shards of glass... could feel the cold ^_^
ReplyDeletei wish i had the same talent as you have :)
ReplyDeleteThis Haiku can take off your mind from the heat of the nearing Summer season. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice photo up there! It's very catchy!
ReplyDeleteWhat I remember about this post was the one I watched in Human Planet about the Ganges River, the ice from Ottawa and the flood in Amazon River.
ReplyDeleteWhen cold season is coming, I can only think of Christmas. I know it be will Christmas again soon. Time flies so fast e.
ReplyDeleteMommy Maye2
Your posts have a knack for timing, don't they, Eliz? It's so cold here in Davao now; it's raining hard. But your poems are lovely as usual!
ReplyDeletePerfectly described our weather here in Baguio City lol. Just when we thought summer was coming because it has been pretty warm the past few days, we were greeted with the cold windy air this morning. Cold season's last hurrah?
ReplyDeleteNice quote! In fairness patama yan sa weird weather we now experience
ReplyDeleteSo cold. I found myself reaching my blanket. Ha!
ReplyDeletethe view on the photo is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteI like these haikus, and the photos you chose. I felt cold! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is still cold in the morning over here. Like it actually but I do miss the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteVery tranquil scene. So nice. The lake is very still.
ReplyDeleteI think it is already summer here in our country. Maybe next time I can see haiku about summer. hehehe
ReplyDeleteIt is still snowing here at my end. Makes me yearn for summer so bad:(
ReplyDeleteits summer here...
ReplyDeletei like your photos, so peaceful place
The cold has really lasted a very long time where you are staying.. Brr..
ReplyDeletenice photos, summer is just around the corner here in my other part of the world.. so its getting hot in here
ReplyDeleteAnother haiku to ponder..:)
ReplyDeleteif only we could have some of the cold weather here... it is scorching now in cebu
ReplyDeleteReturn of the cold may mean the not-so-good memories haunting us?
ReplyDeleteThe photos included are beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could experience snow but I know I won't like it.
in a deeper meaning of "return of the cold", remembering of the past, feeling alone, unfortunate events are happening again..
ReplyDeletebeautiful photos indeed :)
ReplyDeleteCarpe Diem - seize the day! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and the poetry!
ReplyDeleteYou always have pretty photos (and haiku of course).
ReplyDeleteLovely picture and haiku
ReplyDeleteOooo... so cold! I hope we have snow day here in the middle east too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when the cold will return. It's really hot now and I can't wait for the cold season again.
ReplyDeleteYay, I don't think I can endure such cold.
