COVID winter – – haibun
the news is a cacophony of stress … more COVID variants, more positive tests, more deaths, talk of ICU triage guidelines, and the vaccine rollout slowing to a trickle. What can I say? What can I do?
deep snow
on the deck and
it’s still snowing
But who wants to read gloomy observations? Most of us are wanting to be soothed, to forget.
darning
blue mittens
the colour of spring
