I visited Kuopio. My friend was buried there. Finnish text is something like this:

path to the grave -
a returning
sun?

Thawingism

Thawism?

Thawing means by Webster to go from a frozen to a liquid state

as:

An economy crisis thawed
into bankers' pockets?
St Patrick's Day.


It was yesterday 17th March. Is it enough for a kigo?

After a classic winter - with some snow and some freezing period the nature is thawing. Snows running away from us.


running
from the streets -
March thaw

The trains don't whistle anymore. I visited yesterday Helsinki for a short meeting. Got a pencil and wrote these, this one was #1:

smell
from an old snow -
bird whistling

I did not like the word "smell". Scent? Stink? What aroma snow's got? Then #2:


old snow
ebbing away -
a black bird!



The train was late. I checked the time and got slightly nervous. When arrived at Helsinki main railway station our train was 7 minutes late! When returning later back to Turku I wrote #3:


this year
melting snows seemingly
missing the train



When I was back at home again I was not at all worried how to make yourself clear in haiku-writing.

The black bird? - Perhaps just a rapid shadow?

Confused




O, sunny March


Where did you come?
white snow left

here,

and over there
