Charles, a rich haiku_!
Judi… an equally rich response_!
_I see The Sister Snow’s dance, whirling to the music… of rising smoke.

ellen, happy new year-
your iceberg provides food for thought; an afterthought, were you enjoying ice coffee(miami thinking)

charles, interesting observation. when i’m fortunate to experience such extremes, i’m slow to rise.
winters in lucerne show my affection for comforters; the heat is turned off while sleeping.

frigid winds–

Happy New Year to you too, Bob. I like your windchimes haiku very much. I am definitely “North” and my Swedish Nanna introduced me to hot strong coffee at an early age. However, being definitely older now as well, it’s a special treat! All the best…
Very expressive Charles!
warmly,

Excellent haiku…and very timely considering the current cold snap.
Nicely done.
Love this ku. Very good.
Really good, a classic.
I like it. Winter slows me down too, but you got me to write.

Lovely haiku! I agree, a classic. Both literal and suggestive…
