only the stars
remain outside

    hello Peter,

    This is pointless since your haiku is now
    published: using word such as "only,"
    within a haiku is a pretty tall order. I
    did enjoy the thought though. Thanks.

    Is this some kind of pun on movie stars?
    It seems they lack common sense but they do have fur coats and thick skins.

    A change. . . here exists.

    cold stars
    seed a new dream
    this garden

    Wonderful, Peter.

    freezing stars
    the warmth of
    distant fires

    The chill of your haiku envelopes me on this cold February night.

    Below freezing
    tonight, the stars
    wait for spring

    Certain views from a window, skylight or crack in the barn wood might show only stars, so what is wrong with the use of "only"? I like Peter"s hiaku "as is"!

    her head down
    between the raindrops chill
    a velvet tear's warmth
