Minnesota Winter Crows

[A Minnesota Poem] in Haiku form

The long, nightlong roller of winter

Creeps, slowly but surely animal disease back

From where on earth it came from

It had busted around us, this

This Merry spell-died

It has not, not yet...

But raised its gray, desolate clouds-

It record positively has!

Less lovable...yes, perhaps;

Then comes aboriginal spring: crows

In their bleak, black-flight

Looking fevered...!

Notes: here is a iv verse Haiku, on the finish of winter in Minnesota, in 2007. Minnesota is familiar for its winters active out close to a lion, and so it has tested so in the period of time of March, of 2007, when this nursery rhyme was typewritten. It would appear winter would simply stop, and time of year would come up in, but it never happens that way. Even the crows have a interval of time to conform to the new season, for the wintertime has helped them vegetate trim and lean, and has helped the humans in Minnesota to vegetate fat, because they catch some z's in the lodge a little. Then in time of year the crows spring fat, and the humanity open increasing lean, they get out of the home as in a while as possible-and past nearby is no end to their happenings.

Commentary on Winter Storms: Winter storms are simply a element of the culture, a fact of life, or so it would seem in Minnesota; I was hatched there, in St. Paul, and have witnessed umteen of them. Severe wintertime storms go hindmost as far as windward writing goes, to perhaps, Nov 10, 1835, when a tough cyclone caused 19shipwrecks on Great Lakes, 254 sailor's died´. And after on Nov 8, 1870 the archetypal season rainstorm restraining was issued by the U.S. Army Signal Corps. On March 14-15, 1941 fearful snow flurry in hesperian counties, 85-mph winds at Grand Forks, 75 mph winds at Duluth. In 1996, we had cardinal blizzards, and in 1997, we had five blizzards. The utter seasonal snow fall, is involving 90 and 120 inches.
