CD: Jane Reichhold's "Winter Solstice"

Carpe Diem Special #49




Our challenge is to write a haiku inspired by one or both of the haiku penned by Jane Reichhold.

winter solstice
warmth of friends
return the sun

(c) Jane Reichhold

deep snow
the horse walks the paths
of summer

(c) Jane Reichhold


My inspired haiku:


chilled to the bone
adding wood to the fireplace
pipe dreams of summer

***

deep in the woods
walking through piles of leaves
scent of winter

  3. Love both these. I can smell the scent of winter. A memory of walks in an English woodland.

  4. The first fills me with a sense of futility and foreboding. Futility, because it seems that no matter how much wood is added to the fire, the one huddling in front of it will never get warm. Foreboding, because a prolonged chill is a harbinger of danger or death. (Gosh! I'm morose this morning, aren't I?)

    1. We do tend to project our own feelings onto what we read. I was just trying to do warmth to summer. lol. But you have been in a place immersed in tragedy recently. You will get warm again.

  8. In suburbia, it's hard to find piles of leaves to scuffle through, although I do remember doing so as a child in other places, other climes.

    1. I've never gone deep into woods to walk in leaves. Just in my mind. Seemed like a cool thing to do.
