Carpe Diem Haiku koromogae (衣替え)



Winter has gone
But spring is cold and wet
Won’t change my clothes

Optimism prevails
I change for summer clothes
To lure sunny days

    1. Of course! Or dress for rain and cold and it will change immediately to warm and sunshine! :-)))

  4. The same here. To hot for wadded clothes and to cold for Summer clothes. Thanks Lothar.
