Counter-haiku
Weep catalyst dreams,
Desire pallid winter's breeze,
Concerto for Spring
P.S. I liked this, the reversal of the first line was clever. I am a proud and informed climate change skeptic. In the years between 1990 and 2005, there was a .3 degree (C)/year rise - that's the global warming they're talking about. 2006 was a plateau, and 2007 and 2008 have been progressively cooler. In the 20s they thought there was going to be an ice age. Don't believe everything you read. Remember Y2K? Me either. But I remember the hype.

lovely seasonal haiku
tanka:
playful child who dresses in
whatever comes first to hand -
Tanka
Nature, like capricious girls,
Can't decide what gown to wear. -

outstanding response. How can I give you points for this elequent
take on my haiku? I haven't been around this site long enough to know how it works and I didn't see any stars to click on. I enjoy seeing the different directions the sense of one thought can take when handed off to another to finish. Nice going and thank you for your tanka. I would like to give you 10 points for it. Can you tell me how? Never mind I just foud the way.
