it is cold over this way...
Hey Sue, you are right on with your poems. I think global warming is causing all of this ice. Give me snow to shovel any day.
Who is the little cutie?
Good ones - distractions, and some seeming cnotradictions, too!
You obviously hit it on the head with your middle verse -- how easily people are distracted from the deadly reality of global warming by a few pretty snowflakes. So many who cannot tell the difference between 'weather' and 'climate' or between local and global.
I swear I can see and hear that mallard! Great stuff, Sue.
These are multi-layered; at least for me. The first could be social, media commentary, the second an environmental statement we all need to remember, and...
I too love that last one; it's so visually perfect. Yes, who is the little munchkin?
Love the first. Simply brilliant
so cute! a delightfu distraction...
Boy you nailed it here! Unusually cold for this time of year! Global warming....and the freeze....brrrr..
Nice post!

Distractions AND contradictions there.
Loved them.
Once again great work. Tell me is this American free style Haiku?
love-bd
I'm with you on your point about some being far more fun than others. I love the photo and the whimsy.
Many think of global warming as warming, they should change the name. Wonderful haiku.
Whimsically delightful and thought provoking too.
Hugs and blessings,
Global warming is right on! Our temperature swings will be greater and greater with the hot outweiging the cold.
Forget that though, the picture in pieces is the best for me. (I don't do jigsaw puzzles, they keep me from blogging.)
