    Great visual Haiku. This is what makes this form special…nature and animals!

    What animals, Rhoda Galgiani? there are no animals in this double entendre haiku. A tumbleweed is a kind of plant – a product of nature!

    A lovely haiku. I can feel the dry cold bite thru my jacket and see the sparkle of the early morning sun reflect off the skeins of ice.
