Prompt 49: Slowly

This week's prompt is the adverb slowly.

Nancy Bea of Genre Cookshop provides this classic by Kobayashi Issa to inspire you:

O snail
Climb Mount Fuji,
But slowly, slowly!

(Translated by R.H. Blyth)

    Well just in case Mr. Linky is on strike here is my slowly haiku. This is a light-hearted one to counter the heaviness I have expressed lately.

    I sat thinking about this prompt yesterday - not sure where to go with it, and then it started to snow...

    I know this a recycle post but that was the one I was thinking of when I saw the prompt.
