Haiku: donkeys

February 5, 2021 By Marit 10 Comments

Cold; snow and frost are forecast for this weekend and next week.
People in the Netherlands get all excited thinking about the chance to go ice skating in nature.
I am not that excited though,
I hate cold,
I hate iceskating.

I feel like the donkeys…

Friday haiku

Somber schuilen zij
voor kou en sneeuw. Verlangend
naar een lentewei.
Gloomy they shelter
from the snow, the cold. Longing
for a spring meadow.

The photo is taken by Lena Schreijenberg

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart

Thanks for your visit,
keep safe,
stay warm
have a lovely weekend!

Je t’embrasse

    Happy New Year, Marit. How sad. We are all sheltering from the cold that has gripped the world.

    I think there is going to be quite a gathering in that stable, Marit! Now that sounds like fun. Hot cocoa, warm bodies sharing the heat, maybe some music? If I’m going to dream of spring meadows, then I say, let’s make this a party! Thank you to you and Lena for this Friday’s offering. A warm hug to you my friend.

    I adore that donkey picture! And the cold? Best viewed from in front of the huge fireplace in the lodge with my feet up and hot tea in my cup, and watch those ice skaters through the window. Ha. ok. Not a lodge. Just my little window. And no fireplace. But…..um….sunshine! I live in Florida! 🙂 ok its a bit cold, but none of that white stuff. Stay warm.

    I’m so glad they have a place to shelter! Every creature needs one. No one needs to be homeless.
