Mish hosts OLN at dVerse…here’s my tanka for mini-prompt 🙂
husband grows older
cold weather, his nemesis
tiger in the snow
our new driveway faces north
he and snowblower…growling
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) created woodblock prints and paintings. Over his lengthy career, Hokusai produced over 30,000 pieces. Tigers became his subject matter in his final years and “Tiger in the Snow” may have been his final creation. (source: wikipedia.com)

Oh how we can relate… except we have a double driveway and only a shovel. Cool interpretation from the artwork. 🙂

I just imagine myself with a shovel a few years from now…

If only you knew how this poem resonates with me, Lynn, especially after the last few days!

I appreciate your comment, Kim…to tame the tiger or let him growl?!
