Snowflakes


The time it takes ---
for snowflakes to whiten
the distant pines.
Lorraine Ellis Harr

I enjoy this haiku because it so simply expresses the experience. Sitting in a quiet setting I too have been oblivious of time watching the snowflakes fall. Haiku finds a way to recreate the natural experience; it creates an image that triggers your emotions from a related experience.
