haiku-usa: a toast

Thursday, December 27, 2012

to the departing year –

snow turns to rain . . .

A slightly different version of this was entered in the Shiki Monthly Kukai, December 2012

And here's a toast to all of us. Let's make it a good one!

Geraldine said...: And a toast to you! Sounds like our weather in BC.; 9:31 AM
Frank... said...: A nice post, Bill. I prefer rain much friendlier than snow. Happy New Year!...; 4:34 AM
Bill said...: Thanks, Geraldine. BC is one of my favorite places. I have friends there.

Yes, Frank, and the ellipsis suggests that the process goes beyond rain, even though "into each life some rain [and occasional snow] must fall." Thanks.; 7:41 AM

Rita Odeh said...: I like the second image and prefer
to get rid of the subjective words.
