Reinvented spring
3 January 2016
Spectacles, new eyes
Look within their frame’s focus
Winter’s snow turns crisp
Next doors a bird chirps
A leafy tree in desert
Reinvented spring
Rain’s pitter patter
Upon the meadows flowers
Snow preserved by walls
Beach sands extended
Slight rivers joining the sea
Summer kissed winter
Images from my camera for the flowers (all from my garden) and from luxuo.com, worldoftravel.com, ink361.com, gadling.com for the Dubai sightseeing points landscapes
I wrote this poem in a series of Haiku bordering on Senryu because it struck me how much it is typical of this country in its winter to know of three seasons within the same time; mainly winter, spring and summer together but during some days winter, spring and autumn bizarrely depending on where you are going. The winter symbol is of course man-made with the construction of ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates where you can go skiing regardless of the temperature outside. Winter here is the equivalent of spring in Europe and when it is not raining the weather is fantastic, flowers are blooming and birds are chirping everywhere.
