Haiku for Skiing and my Dog

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, haiku’s and a poem for what I love – skiing and my dog! 

Haiku for Skiing:

Fog shrouds around me, 

There is no snow only clouds 

BAM! The snow surrounds. 

–

Sand swirls on the ground 

It looks like a white desert. 

Oh, wait! That is snow. 

–

Covering my face, 

The cold bites into my cheeks 

Up! The lift arrives. 

–

Snowflakes slowly sink, 

Rays of sun make it sparkle 

Clouds cover the view… 

–

Painted trees surround, 

Their green leaves are drooping down 

Plop! They spring back up.

–

Hurtling in air, 

Gravity does not follow 

Skis collide and fall. 

A Poem for my dog! 

My Pet, 

Is always wet, 

She is definitely a threat. 

She would win in Russian Roulette! 

She cannot sweat, 

She’d be in bad debt. 

She does not mind the vet, 

But I bet, 

She would hate a jet! 

She always shows regret. 

That’s why I love my pet!
