Snowflakes and Diamonds


Had a bit of snow last night. I use the flash and snap this. It looks like falling diamonds instead of snowflakes. Truefully, I prefered snowflakes to diamonds. I find them boring. Well it gave me a wonderful idea for some hay(na)ku.

*****

Snowflakes
or diamonds?
Oh course, snowflakes.

Snowflakes
cold and
true to reality.

Touch of a
finger and
gone.

Leaving
a teardrop
of cold water.

Washing
nothing away
Too little, again.

As for diamonds
cold as
I.

***

Truth in snow
always melting
away.

Leaving
bareness and
wishing of snow.

I love your photo of sky diamonds. That's just how snow looks at night, but I've never seen anyone take a picture of it before. Great!
