A snowy Christmas
Old bobsled rusting in shed
Returns, speedy slide
MEMORIES REINCARNATE
Old rusting bobsled
Speed slider, returns from shed
On snowy Christmas

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Well written thought Leo.. Wonderful words..
–Someone is Special–
thanks a lot, SiS…
Joining the two Haiku’s by recollecting old memories 🙂
and also changing the order of the words as they appear in the Haiku’s
is very clever and appealing. 🙂
I love the way you always keep experimenting with prompts and forms. 🙂
thanks a lot Nanka 😀 glad u liked it, the experimental NaiSaiKu 😉
Ah,, the memories this old sled must hold.
yeah.. so many, eh Willow? thanks a lot for the inspiration 😀
What imagination and creative execution of prompts sliding around!! 😉
thanks very much, Vibz 😀 glad u liked it.
Good poem!
thank u, Ina 🙂
I think it is a cascading haiku.
sort of, Ina 🙂
What a great poem for the prompt! So many memories from childhood. Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/12/09/ghost-of-christmas-past/
thank you very much, Teresa. yes, it does get lovely memories.. 🙂
The best time of the year for this sled to make its appearance!!!
yes indeed, Helen.. the best time it is 😉
These haiku are so full of memories. i have never seen haiku linked like this before.
thanks very much, Marilyn 🙂 the form is called a NaiSaiKu 😀 two haikus linked with a seven syllable title between them 😀
Hey thanks Leo, NaiSaiKu, interesting ! I really love it.
welcome, Ina 🙂
in NaiSaiKu, the two haikus are usually d same, in reverse order of lines.
this one of mine, is purely experimental.
😀
Leo this is wonderful, you inspired me to do one too http://inaweblogisback.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/haiku-or-naisaiku-or-senryu/ Thank you so much for this new challenge in wordpuzzle!

I really love this too, Leo–sometimes it’s very nice to “reincarnate” those memories!
yeah. very nice for sure, Bodhi 🙂
Man, I’ definitely loving the images you’re picked…is that a crossbow for real?
that’s not a crossbow, Sidra. that’s a bobsled. which kids use to slide down a slope when it has snowed…
