by Masago: Rengay #18 (Dec 30 to Jan 5, 2008), Verses 1-6 (of 5)
A cardinal settles / among the tree's twigs — falling snow.
Ice fog hangs in the air — an owl perches on a stump.
Clear and sunny — mouse tracks lead under / a half-buried log.
Below a drift — the squirrel uncovers a stash / of pine cones.
A cow munches on hay — eavestrough icicles form.
A blizzard envelopes / the red barn — two horses / face the wind.

Happy New Year, Masago! And best wishes for a healthy and successful 2008

The term is defined in 'The art of sharting' on my blog. It'll put a smile on your face.
ReplyDeleteRichard: Ah, I see. Well I don't think there's any skid marks on their undies! :-)
