A friend and author, Vivian Kirkfield viviankirkfield , creator of the “50 Precious Words” contest, inspired me to write a Haiku for children, age 12 and under. Finally, after three tries, I’ve composed an entry to my satisfaction. In the end, it was great fun, Vivian. Thank you. Many stories in 50 words will be posted today on Vivian’s blog.
WINTER RUNNING LATE
by Pamela Miller
Faces peering out
“Why is Jack Frost not about?”
Fog-free window panes
Smelled the weighted air
February never fair
New red sled hangs ‘round
Cloudy, down pouring
Loud, the old Grandpa snoring
Soft, hair white as snow
March teased with flurries
Then shouting, sledding, I burst
Now? It’s April first!
