A Big Snow for Arkansas

by Pat Laster, author of A Journey of Choice

Haiku

after many years
snow togs again
drying by the fire
~
pair of cardinals
caught in a snow-covered pine
for a news picture
~
thermometer
under a blanket of snow
reads 22 degrees
~
a cat lying
in a cleared-out place
in the snowy yard
~
snow caps
on clumps of beautyberries~
cat sitting in sun
~
swing full of snow
while the sun shines,
the wind pushes
~
still icy patches
where the trees block the sun
road clogged with semis
