Sensational Haiku Wednesday - Renovation

Jenn from, You Know … that blog?,
hosts Sensational Haiku Wednesday.
This week’s theme is:
Renovation
haiku wednesday

cold winds lift red tiles
to fall and break on black ice
shattering cover

up above our heads
open crisp blue sky revealed
tossing wisps of hair

nets hold back debris
block out seeping alfresco
until the new roof

green butterfly

If you would like to sign a Guest Book for Dr. John

  5. Jenn@ You know... that blog?Wed Feb 17, 08:37:00 AM EST

    Good ones!! They came alive for me. Well done :)

    Hrmmm. Sounds like you have a few commentors who need to be challenged to join us, Nessa...

    Such an outpouring for Dr. John - he was certainly loved by many, wasn't he! A great loss in the blogosphere.

    Never got to know Dr John, but apparently he had many, many friends in the blog world. Everywhere I click, I see his name mentioned. Awesome!

    the words you select
    speak of anticipation
    combined with patience

    Great haikus but I do hope you are keeping warm! I wouldn't fancy any kind of al fresco at the moment it's chilly here too.

    Look at it this way, Nessa, all the baby wasps and bees that are hatched can safely fly away. Spring is coming, you know.
