Crushed
gentle walk in snow
white crunches beneath both feet
snail shells break quietness

Fine meaningful words Neville.
Andy
its not the best time of year to be homeless, is it .. thanks GF60 .. Neville
Homeless is horrid at any time of year, we know, but more so in winter.
That is so very true Steven .. thank you
The only one I don't worry about is KP - I chuck here out on wintry nights. lol.
It is a travesty that anyone is living on the streets. When the temperatures drop it is a nightmare for those poor souls. I am also thinking about some of our pensioners who will freeze in their own homes because they can’t afford to heat them. All stuff that could easily be rectified by a government that cares about the welfare of its own people. Your brevity here creates much thought and many images Neville. A lonely existence. Have a good Wednesday Neville.
Thanks Cassie & back at you my friend ..
I forgot to say, your haikus and senryus are top notch:)
...................... thank you💜👍
Neville the subtlety of the third line is amazing broken homes for snails that are now homeless. Simply lovely.
Cheers sb .. those words on their own mean a whole lot to me .. 😎👍
…snails in the snow 🐌 what an image! The sentiment echoes in the soul. Winter is not a season to be destitute.
I have slept on park benches, in churches, shop doorways and under bridges & know for sure that no one in their write mind ever chooses to .. thanks for your understanding ..
Homelessness is awful, and as we get to this time of year, it is deadly. Thank you for these brief, but powerful words! ❤️
the run up to Christmas & the new year is invariably a very busy time for me, from a professional perspective as it might be for many .. It is also a time for giving & forgiving which is part of my plea .. Many thank you's Tristan .. Neville 😎💛👍
Indeed! You're welcome Neville. ❤️
Excellent write Nevilie
Ta T .. how terrifically kind sir .. N 😊👍
You're welcome
I'll go with the snow - or rather not.
Homeless? a careless society.
snow is far more appealing than a care-less society .. cheers 👍
Beautiful and serene scene.
That'll do nicely my friend .. many thank you's .. Neville
A fine Haiku, Neville.
Many thanks Jez .. I hope you being pleasantly busy is the reason we haven't seen you around lately .. All Good Things .. Neville
Both, actually trying to write a novel. It is so hard. Linda is ill and we are in and out with doctors.
Jeez Jez sorry to hear that my friend .. be sure I will keep everything crossed for a speedy recovery for the pair of you .. Neville 🤞👍
Thanks. Neville.
Delicate as the morsels which compose the snow and prettily rendered with a haunting poignancy and excellent imagery, me likes right well. Thank you for sharing.
Blimey Missy, when ya put it like that, I now wish I had posted it twice .. many thanks Ma'am ..
