Snowflakes fall
from a sunny sky – We are
improbable.
Ken Wagner on Haiku Habits
we are indeed
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.
