Snow haiku contest starts....now!
While we're snowed in this weekend, we can at least express ourselves....in haiku. And there's a prize.
For those of you who are new to haiku, the rules are:
Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. A successful haiku creates an image in the reader's mind.
I'll start us off:
B'more snow panic
reassuring ritual
Must procure three whites!
The winner (not me, obviously) will receive "The Illustrated Kitchen Bible," which has tons of recipes for next time it snows. We'll accept entries at the hash tag #mdsnowhaiku on Twitter, as well as in the comments below.
Contest starts now and runs through the weekend. Good luck!

Hush still cityscape
Squeaky boots tromp a path home
Cool clean air revives

Snowball fights commence
Neighbors shovel the sidewalks
The world seems so bright

Toddler's first big snow
Bundled up and headed out
He cried the whole time

A cozy morning
Will yield to cabin fever
By snowy nightfall.
Definitely true for us! KS

Crunching underfoot...
Snowmen and snow angels fun...
Who'll shovel the path?
