This winter is the pits. Where are the lovely sharp sunshiny frosty mornings? Must we suffer only rain, incessant, interminable, smothering all interest in going outside to enjoy a bracing walk. Crisp outlines of trees are nowhere to be seen ─ just misty, murky amorphous landscape, curtained intermittently by sweeping squalls. It isn’t even cold.

My second attempt at a haibun for dVerse Haibun Monday, this time on prompt, writing to the photograph provided by Gabriella. Sorry about the surfeit of adjectives!

I had to chuckle at “It isn’t even cold”. So true…if it’s going to be dreary, let there be snow!

Oh dear, sounds gloomy indeed. Whoever wrote “whatever the weather, we’ll weather the weather, whether we like it or not” ?! Hope you see the sun soon…and more than tremulous 🙂

My winter is different this year .. but how I remember those soggy winters on the Italian Riviera … totally disheartening – totally melancholy – although I lived in a villa overlooking the sea and loved when the squalls pounded the bay. You’ve described it very well in your haibun! Sorry the weather is so miserable though.

I hate that kind of winters. I remember such a mild and rainy winter a few years ago. I was so longing for cold and some blue in the sky.

I love your haiku. It sums up the feeling of being trapped by incessant rain beautifully. I am trying to reply to your comments on my blog but my tablet is having a hissy fit. I will reply later when I am on the computer.

In Manche, if you don ‘t like the weather normally you wait five minutes. Not this time: 4 days of continuous rain. The sun actually struggled through briefly at 5pm.

we are entering Rainy Season down here, although so far, it’s been mostly sunny. We had so much rain, last Spring, in Nova Scotia, I swear we were growing mold on our backsides!
