Mid-winter —
the weight of snow flakes
grows heavier.
About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

Mid-winter -

Link with 924: Tidal.
[As Winter "grinds" on, snow accumulates on everything including trees, houses, and the ground. This increasing weight is hopefully endured by the trees and plants. However, the flakes of snow that fell earlier in the season have certainly lost their identity and are now pressed into layers of ice. For some people, this grinding may also have a psychological dimension in that the "weight of snow flakes" is symbolic of their developing mood.]
the psychological dimension is very interesting......
Woops, the link with the previous day's haiku should have been:
Link with 925: Increase.
Yes, Vaughn, you are right and Amalendu are right: not only the weight of snow flakes but the weight of memories, pains, sins, duties...
Very beautiful your poem.
