.. warm up with Snowdays<\/em><\/a> haiku from 3LightsGallery .. \"\" ..<\/p>\n

L<\/strong><\/em>iam Wilkinson at Three Lights Gallery<\/a> felt deprived of school-free snow days when he was a wee lad.\u00a0 In the near-universal lament of schoolboys, he felt all the deep snow came on weekends and holidays where he lived in the North of England.\u00a0 Liam tells us:<\/p>\n

“whilst I was sloping off to school in the light flurries of my northern winters, I couldn’t help but envy those who were staying home to enjoy the snow.” <\/em><\/p>\n

As an adult with an “online haiku gallery,” Liam had a solution — ask your haijin friends to contribute a blizzard of snow and cold haiku and senryu.\u00a0 He did:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> “So, welcome to <\/em>Snowdays<\/em><\/a><\/em> – pour a cup of something hot, wrap up, sit back and enjoy the snow.”<\/em><\/p>\n

You’ll find poems by over three dozen haiku poets<\/a>, including Liam’s talented buddies Alan Summers and John Barlow. Two of our Honored Guests poets, Roberta Beary and Laryalee Fraser, appear in Snowdays<\/em>.\u00a0 Here are their offerings:<\/p>\n
