The most time I spend on the golf course is during winter. The local public course is open for recreation, so when it snows, the cross-country skis and sleds come out. I like to snowshoe. So the other day Anna and I had a little adventure. The happy screams of distant children blanketed the air. It snowed a little while I was shoeing, so it was a perfect winter moment. Four cold crows flew over, their black forms stark against the slate sky and white powder.
Snowy winter freeze
Winter hills contrast deep snow
Defining bare trees.
The tankatuesday challenge was a Haibun, which contains a prose paragraph and a haiku. My kigo words for winter were “freeze”, “winter hills” and “cold crow.”
Mark, this is haibun is stunning. You captured this scene so well. All my senses came alive. And… what fun! Snowshoeing is so cool!

Boz, you pulled me into the scene with you and Anna. The crows’ sharp contrast against grey and white stands out here.

Mark,
Your haibun artfully depicts a winter adventure on the golf course. The prose captures the joyous atmosphere, children’s laughter, and the falling snow. The haiku succinctly emphasizes the contrast of winter hills and bare trees. Well done!
