Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#208 Prompt: Vanish

Our Pacific Northwest has been enjoying an unseasonably mild February this year causing flowers to bloom early and folks to feel as though Spring has come. However this morning Winter decided to let us all know that it was still hanging around by sending us a flurry of big heavy wet snowflakes. causing our lovely early bloomers to get covered in white. Thankfully the snow didn’t last long and the sun came out to melt it all away.

Winter’s Snowfall

snowflakes
Snow!

So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!
