Or maybe not…
In the bigger picture of things, one really does not know..

Perhaps the improbable can also be inevitable?

I can’t believe it:
Snow flakes keep falling
From a sunny sky!?:))
Still, essentially, a superb vision of man’s eternal origin and his temporary plight!:)

Ken, would you mind if I post the below haiku on my blog!?:) The first two are more or less your work – with some rearrangements of mine added. The last one is the famous piece by Issa, set in the 5/7/5 format and paraphrased by me. The whole thing seems interesting enough!?:)
I can’t believe it:
How come snowflakes keep falling
From a sunny sky!?
It may well be true
That hawks don’t care for haiku –
Too spiritual!?
From the time we’re born,
Until we breathe our last:
Words full of nonsense.

Borut – Please do. Honored. The threads run through.

Thank you, Ken!:)

“Perhaps the improbable can also be inevitable?” – agree

I like this one – and I’ve seen snowflakes from a sunny sky – also rain. That happens a lot here in Florida.
Happy New Year!

Kris – Thanks, Kris. I enjoy improbabilities in general, especially unlikely precipitation. Florida’s tropical weather must produce many delightful surprises.
