Well, what will it be today…weather forecasters are like gamblers, never really knowing what to predict…wind, cold but the test is who will foresee kinds of precipitations these days… She prepares her bag before going to work adding safety measures to be able to challenge the moods of Mother Nature.
(troiku)
spring elements white powdered footpaths unpredictable
spring elements
moments of gusty winds
streams of golden rays
white powdered footpaths
clings to the past in silence
no one’s listening
unpredictable
cruel and vindictive
like a scorned lover
A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Namaste!

wow you’re on a roll! Great haibun and troika–each one presents a changing view! I love the gambler metaphor too, It’s so apt!
Yes, it is a gamble these days knowing what to wear at noon and coming home at midnight…so my cleats, wool scarf, tuque, gloves are in my bag just in case. There were ice patches under that lovely snow…so I walked extremely cautiously.
It’s the same here too. above freezing in at dawn, blow you off the side walk windy at noon, which makes it feel really cold, and then the temp drops again at night. no ice though. Just a lot of ups and downs and wind. Lots of wind.
