Toes curled in wool socks
Ache for balmier weather--
Frosty hanami.
Hands thrust in pockets,
Sake abandoned on lawn;
Fingers dream of Spring.
Rosy chilly cheeks
Compete with sakura pinks;
The finer blush wins.

I thought Spring had come
But the weather didn't last.
Now it's fucking cold.
Yes, these days actually "SAKE abandaoned on lawn", though untill a few years ago (or I was a college student) it was OK. I love the third HAIKU---but today it is also really cold.
Walk to the Quik-Mart
The girls in Catholic plaid skirts
Wind thrashes their knees
There are some great "suburban" themed haiku here:
