river freezing
and the whirligig says “pah!” –
no-one’s impressed now

This poem was written for Carpe Diem “Little Creatures” #13, “The Whirligig “, another great prompt hosted by Chèvrefeuille at Carpe Diem Haiku Kai. All of the poems in the link-up can be read here.
That cheeky whirligig! 😉
Love the humor here —!
Well, I was kind of thinking of some of the amusing critters I’ve met at BIOLI over the last few months 😉
Yay!
They’re a cheeky bunch, indeed! 😉
Rereading this poem — and loving it, Blake!!!! 😀
Phew this is ages old – how strange to see it again 😉
A rare attempt to adopt a tone that has some echo of our friend Issa (as picked up from your good self!). It’s quite fun, isn’t it? It’s tricky, though, bringing ‘characters’ into a haiku – for me, anyway 🙂
Tricky – but done well!
And looking at the linkup for this prompt – this haiku is my favorite 🙂
Aw shucks, thanks Jen 😉
