Happy new year, Al!
Glad to see you're still writing.
And if you miss snow
Come to my hometown,
or Pittsburgh, where my school is-
there's plenty out here.
Meh. I just got back
from a wonderful week in
sunny Cancun, and
it's difficult to
get used to cold weather
now, but I have to.

I can see the lights
like that from the Cathedral
It is beautiful.
Been thinking of home
a lot now that it's two weeks
until I go there...

Watch your syllables-
your very first line has six
or did you mean that? :)
I've started to wash
dishes since I started school
Not my fav'rite chore.
Organizing is
more fun, but you're right, it does
take a lot of time.

Again with the syll-
ables! "Glaciers" is three
when I read aloud.
But still beautiful...
I love watching stars at home
I knew their names, once.
And ev'ry cloud does
have a silver lining, if
it's only the moon. :)

Ah! Daffodils and
vi'lets remind me of home-
and bright red tulips
We always have flowers...
now I come to school, wjere the
only color's leaves
and the coat of arms
is flowers on Cathedral lawn
but I miss gardens.

Where is this place that
you remember from childhood?
Ah, to be so young
and to have your life
unfolding before you; when
I was little, I
knew exactly what
I wanted to do and be.
Everything made sense.

Really liked the 3rd Haiku from this set. In particular, the comparison of the dead tree to the bareness of winter appealed to me.

An odd turn of thought
for you, Al; it's not like you
to focus on death.
It ain't so dry here;
I got out my boots today,
and my umbrella.
I don't feel like post-
ing haiku right now...it hap-
pens to diaries.

Life so small, and yet
it can see the larger world
and encompass it
in thought-we still sail
by stars that may be long dead
What we see, is real
to us; the stars are
not themselves, but also re-
flect society.

Crazy little bug
who knows what a moth's thinking?
Certainly not I
What were you reading?
It must have been awesome, to
keep you up till five.

It sounds beautiful!
I can't see the sunset, ex-
cept from Cathedral.
Can you post pictures?
I miss those colors; all I
see are autumn leaves.
