Pure white snow covers
all that's ugly in the world
temporarily

Gary Busha is a Wisconsin native who likes that state’s changing seasons. His poetry — lean and plain-spoken, with themes of nature and lament — is strongly influenced by his good fortune in having grown up on Lake Winnebago. A poetry chapbook publisher for many years, Gary has three chapbooks of his own, and he has recently finished 12 pocket-sized mini-series of haiku.

This haiku is superb and deeply meaningful--about so much more than snow.

I counted each syllable and decided this was a beautiful haiku with the last word being so important.
