Old Man Winter

Haiku is a short Japanese, unrhyming poem capturing a moment in time. The poem is on the picture on the front of the postcard. I have written a brief description of where the inspiration for the poem came from on the main body of the postcard.

A branch of blackthorn blossom, covered in snow.
'Old Man Winter' inspired by a late snowfall in March when the blackthorn blossom was out. I walked down the lanes and became fascinated with the heavy snowfall crowning the spring blossom.
