"It was one of those March days
when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the
light, and winter in the shade." Charles Dicken
Huddled by the lake
Ice, like shards of glass, splinters...
Cold returns to play
Today, the word is Return Of The Cold
What is Carpe Diem? Blog Owner, Kristjaan
Panneman, describes it as: "a
weblog on haiku. It's a new daily haiku meme where you can write a classical or
non-classical haiku on a given prompt. Haiku is an ancient Japanese poetry
form. A haiku has three short lines and describes a short moment (as short as
the sound of a pebble thrown into water). Mostly a haiku counts 5-7-5 syllables
and is sometimes called 'counted verse.'"

A snowfall settles
Cold, wet white winter blankets
Steadily shuts down...
Some Food for Thought: Do you have any strong associations with the words above? What imagery come to mind? Take a moment to contemplate what Return of the Cold means to you? Love and Peace in 2013.

I can feel the cold returning :-)
Amazing photos. I especially liked the last one.
Since summer is fast-approaching, the cold is actually what I'm looking for at the moment.
here in our country, summer will come off
March is probably the hottest in the country. Wish it wouldn't be that bad this year, tho.
Lovely indeed!
Return of the cold can also mean return of being so stagnant right?
Lovely photo and beautiful haiku of the season ~ ....shards of glass... could feel the cold ^_^
i wish i had the same talent as you have :)
This Haiku can take off your mind from the heat of the nearing Summer season. :)
That's a very nice photo up there! It's very catchy!
What I remember about this post was the one I watched in Human Planet about the Ganges River, the ice from Ottawa and the flood in Amazon River.
When cold season is coming, I can only think of Christmas. I know it be will Christmas again soon. Time flies so fast e.

Your posts have a knack for timing, don't they, Eliz? It's so cold here in Davao now; it's raining hard. But your poems are lovely as usual!
Perfectly described our weather here in Baguio City lol. Just when we thought summer was coming because it has been pretty warm the past few days, we were greeted with the cold windy air this morning. Cold season's last hurrah?
Nice quote! In fairness patama yan sa weird weather we now experience
So cold. I found myself reaching my blanket. Ha!
the view on the photo is breathtaking.
I like these haikus, and the photos you chose. I felt cold! :)
Yes, it is still cold in the morning over here. Like it actually but I do miss the sunshine.
Very tranquil scene. So nice. The lake is very still.
I think it is already summer here in our country. Maybe next time I can see haiku about summer. hehehe
It is still snowing here at my end. Makes me yearn for summer so bad:(
its summer here...
i like your photos, so peaceful place
The cold has really lasted a very long time where you are staying.. Brr..
nice photos, summer is just around the corner here in my other part of the world.. so its getting hot in here
Another haiku to ponder..:)
if only we could have some of the cold weather here... it is scorching now in cebu
Return of the cold may mean the not-so-good memories haunting us?
The photos included are beautiful. Sometimes I wish I could experience snow but I know I won't like it.
in a deeper meaning of "return of the cold", remembering of the past, feeling alone, unfortunate events are happening again..
beautiful photos indeed :)
Carpe Diem - seize the day! :)
Love the photos and the poetry!
You always have pretty photos (and haiku of course).
Lovely picture and haiku
Oooo... so cold! I hope we have snow day here in the middle east too.
I wonder when the cold will return. It's really hot now and I can't wait for the cold season again.
