October Snow Fall Haiku
surprises the unwary.
Shouldn’t those be leaves?
After I threw a blanket over the basil, and took a picture, I checked our local meteorologist’s web page. It seems the record October snow fall occurred in 1967, which was the first fall I lived in the Chicago area. We moved from snow free El Salvador.
Had I seen snow before that fall? Lots. We moved to our Grandparents house in Buffalo, NY in January.

Too early for snow Cool summer, cool fall
I won’t get out the shovel
Until November.
It doesn’t mean anything
Only models do.

Summer has ended.
Arctic blasts freeze tomatoes;
they’ll never ripen.

Hot air blows
From the debate; untroubled
the snow falls.
