I had fun with COLLEEN’S 2020 WEEKLY #TANKA TUESDAY #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 193, #POET’SCHOICE. I decided to pick one of the photographs that I have used as a cover picture on Facebook and write about it. I ended up combining a Haiku/Senyru and one of these pictures with the end product a Haiga. There were several poems to choose from and pictures. I have a nature Haiga I almost went with and will be sharing later, but this combination (even though the picture quality isn’t good) tugged at my heart. Maybe because that little boy is turning 26 years old this month.
Years ago after a snowstorm closed down our main road we were able to sled on it. We’ve never been able to do that again, so this holds extra fond memories of that snow day.
What a wonderful memory, Denise, and the poem is perfect for the picture.
One of my fondest Christmas memories is of a snowstorm when hubby and I got snowed in. Even though we couldn’t be with family (we did a family Christmas a week later), it was purely magical.
Thanks, Mae. There is something magical about getting snowed in with loved ones. I’m picturing a cozy Christmas for you:) Nice!
A beautiful memory and poem, Denise! 🙂
Thank you. Harmony:) It is one of those memories that still brings a huge smile to me.
I love those sorts of memories. You can see the pure joy in his face.
Me too 🙂 We have to hang on to those joyfilled moments of the past.
We had a sled like that as kids- they really travel! 🙂
Happy birthday to your sweet boy {{hugs}}
They do get going:) Thank you, Jacquie! Hugs back.
This is such a lovely memory to share with us, Denise. I’ve never experienced a cold Christmas. The temperatures here on Christmas day normally exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We huddle around the air-con instead of a warm fire. I’ve always wanted to experience a White Christmas. 😊
Thanks, Soooz. I’ve had hot Christmases before and was looking forward to a white one too. We’ve gotten lucky and got a couple over the years:) Maybe someday you will:) xo
It’s on my bucket list. Fingers crossed. ❤
Awww. Love it.
xoxoxo
Thanks, Sandra xoox
So cute! I love the picture as well as your lovely haiku. Stay blessed dear friend.
Thank you, Balroop. You stay blessed too xo
I love this Haiga poem, Denise. The Senryu tugged at my heat and the photo is precious! Love it. ❤️
Thank you Colleen. I was looking for another picture when this one called out to me. xo
Heart, not heat. My fat fingers on the phone again. LOL! <3
How beautiful, Denise! You’ve captured the joy and exhilaration of the moment in just a few words. I love it! ♥
Thanks Gwen:) It was such a joyful moment that still makes me smile xo
Terrific memory and haiku Denise… somethings stay with you for ever.. xx
Thank you Sally, those good memories are always there:)
That’s lovely both the poem and the image. 🙂
Lovely words, Denise.
Thanks, Robbie:)
Wonderful memories need to be shared. Nicely done, Denise.
Thank you Karen xo
In the end, all we have are the sweet memories we’ve made. Beautiful senryu, Denise! <3
That is so true Vashti. Thank you xo
