Sugar crystal snow
rattles the red-brown beech hedge
the ‘Beast’s’ final fling

Snow envy

An east-west divide
they have it and don’t want it
the snow is whiter…

A microclimate
defined by our garden fence
somehow snow remains

The white stuff

Waking to the white
it came, it pitched, it melted

Febrile atmosphere

First snow

Icing sugar dust
just enough to turn green white
winter in full bloom

Half a metre
A billion, billion
snowflakes obscure mountain views
the best day ever.

Change
Recent memory
melted away and replaced

Silence
City without cars
benefit of pitching snow
everything is calm.

- Bristol rarely gets snow, so this event is noteworthy, it is also worth highlighting that Bristolians have their own word for ‘settling’ (of snow) which is ‘pitching’ so I have used it in this haiku. Walking to work was a pleasure this morning on two counts, firstly the sheer beauty of seeing the world through a different lens and secondly the almost complete absence of cars. It set me thinking how beautiful the world would be with fewer cars on the road, they are a convenient nuisance.
Tomorrow’s forecast
Looming threat of snow
excited and uneasy
in equal measure.
