she knows
the spring arrives,
some day

Snowflakes

1.


all these hungry
baby-snowflakes got
white teeth

2.

don't argue
the snowflakes' role is to act
as for white power

3.

all these pure-white snowflakes
building up a final friendship

Solstice lantern

This ice-lantern built by my wife. There is a flickering candle enlightening this dim world. Today (Dec. 21st 2012 at 1.12 pm Finnish winter time) is the winter solstice.

Today also we'll get a new Mayan calendar!

Memory of Robert Bauer

Got a message that Robert Bauer, Shiki kukai secretary and web-master, passed away this morning (2nd Dec. 2012.)



Ps, added 30th Dec 2012:

My text for Robert from Shiki Kukai December free format section was:

the wake not yet
smoothed out

Global warming?

frightened river -
snow flowing
coldwards

Second snow

We got our second snow! First one melted already away. Trying to follow the Doda Meeting and believe in Our Earth's Saving from all the bad...

Doha meeting -

As a bonus photo, our squirrel doesn't care what the winter is, or is not going to do.
This very same squirrel acting also in mataleena's blog:

Textual wonders

dark energy -
all the windows
closed

Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that permeates all of space and tends to accelerate the expansion of the universe.

Gaza strip -
dark energy broke the light
through the windows

Windows is something Microsoft owns. Quite often I am using Linux.

not so quietly
world peace
buried

This format is as a hay(na)ku. Format is not so often used?

pulchritudinous -
a long tailed magpie
flirting with a crow

(For this I got an idea from Joseph Massey's Facebook.)

November

   Leafless trees waiting for the winter. 

     The winter is coming,

                 is coming?

or is it just cancelled 

a leafless wind
under a barren
dark cloud

Good morning!
A happy tit flying -
a good morning

Why this flying bird? At first L2 was:
"a happy pigeon flying free"...

But I did not found any flying pigeon from my albums, just a small tit...

Let's it fly then!

:-)

Here is the same bird, just before it voted:

going to hibernate?
