Lullaby for Kungu and Barseloi


Go to sleep -
a soft blanket of snow
covers us all

* * *

Nuku rauhassa -
lumen pehmeä huopa
peittää meidät kaikki

WOW!! I love that! To try and say anything else would demean the body of your work so I'll leave it at WOW!!

It is a well-crafted haiku, Mome.

Steve, in Spanish-speaking countries, the expression "sin palabras" or "without words" is used in such a circumstance. It's meant to express awe without detracting from the art itself. It's the highest compliment. The observer is dumb-struck; vocabulary fails. :-)

Thank you, Steve! This was in fact written in the memory of my two animal friends, who passed away recently.

Thanks, everyone :-) We are having more snow today, now almost 10 cm. Then again, in February-March we'll have 80-120 cm.
